Fire Extinguisher &
Sprinkler System Training
Held at Antioch V.F.D.
Students in the Firefighter Module 1 class participated in extinguisher and sprinkler training. Students took part in classroom training to include extinguisher and sprinkler awareness, followed by hands-on training on how to work with and wedge sprinkler heads closed, if necessary. This allows firefighters the opportunity to save contents from excessive water damage after a fire is extinguished and it is deemed safe.
Firefighters also took part in a few quick-dress competitions to see who could get completely dressed in full firefighter gear the quickest and be in a position to safely enter a hazardous situation. The goal for this exercise is two minutes or less.
Below are pictures of the quick-dress competition and firefighters learning to work with the sprinkler head.
Below is a brief video clip of firefighters working with the sprinkler head learning the proper way to wedge the sprinkler head closed. This clip is saved at 256 kbps to retain image quality and may load slower if you are on dial-up.
