Volunteers Attend Live Fire Training Class
April 8, 2013
Volunteers that have spent the last several week attending a Firefighter I class at the McDavid Station of Escambia Fire Rescue took part in the final phase of their training Saturday with a “life fire” exercise.
The training at the Pensacola Fire Department Training Grounds gave the students their first exposure to interior firefighting with actual flames and smoke.
Scroll down for additional photos.
