🚨Monday night GFD headed back to the old high school for drill! Our members spent the evening working on extended hose lays and search operations in limited visibility conditions. When smoke fills a structure, visibility can quickly drop to zero, so being able to effectively search and communicate while navigating those conditions is critical! 🚨

Last night, GFD had the opportunity to use the old high school to sharpen their forcible entry skills.

Forcible entry involves specific techniques that firefighters use to gain access to locked or blocked buildings during emergencies. This skill is crucial for effective emergency response, allowing firefighters to quickly enter structures to save lives and mitigate damage.

Today, we honor the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and our freedom.
