Live Burns With Center and Allingtown Recruits

The newest recruits for both the Center and City of West Haven-Allingtown districts participated in their first live burn post-fire academy at New Haven’s Regional Fire School. These evolutions were aimed as both a refresher of what they have learned and a familiarization with how our departments operate at working fires. Within this burn as well, Chief of Department James O’Brien tested out a Cairns XF1 fighter pilot styled fire helmet with modernized features and technology aimed at providing greater protection for firefighters and improving both safety and efficiency for prolonged operations. A productive training on multiple fronts, these live burn trainings are a great way for newer firefighters to learn and be better equipped to serve you!
