Today, some of the Linlithgow team were on a Tactical Ventilation refresher at Newbridge Training Centre.
This sees the crew tactically clearing fire gases(smoke) from each compartment sequentially and systematically to enable BA crews and firefighters to operate safer within.
Great day lead by great instructors with all the crew in attendance thoroughly enjoying the course🔥🚒
