This week our Training Division worked with our crews on vertical ventilation cuts on our new vent prop. We also had our neighbors from West Dundee Fire over working on cuts as well. Also great job to our Red Shifts crews for dealing with some good steady rain during their training and not one complaint from the boys! This vent prop will be mounted to our training tower once complete! West Dundee Fire Department Local 4882
