Firefighters participate in preparedness training

PRESS PHOTO BY JIM MARSH Western Salisbury Volunteer Fire Company firefighters conduct a training session Sept. 19 at the department's Swain Station, 950 S. Ott St. The training simulated a house kitchen fire. Firefighters used a steel training door apparatus to simulate forced entry, then firefighters in full protective gear, with air packs, crawled through the darkened structure to locate and simulate distinguishing a kitchen fire. Other firefighters used the department's aerial ladder truck to scale the structure's roof and simulated venting procedures to lower the high interior temperatures they would encounter in a real fire situation.
