Annual Live Burns at the New Haven Fire School

Last week, members of all four shifts participated in our annual live burns done at the New Haven Regional Fire Academy. Meant to simulate responses to structural fires, these controlled burns served as a pivotal refresher on everything from interior fire attack operations to exterior aerial operations to command operations and the proper utilization of personnel. We never know when the alarm will sound next for a fire and that is why we dedicate as much time as we do to making sure we are wholly prepared to respond to them.
