It is Week 9 of the Citizen’s Fire Academy and BRW Project Manager, Jen Bettiol, was at the renowned Brayton Fire Training Fields in College Station, Texas. The course has consisted of several different demonstrations and training exercises firefighters regularly have to endure and this week continued to bring excitement! As part of “Hose Training Week”, the Fire Department kept the class busy working with 2 ½” lines, 1 ½” lines, hooking up to fire hydrants, shooting off water cannons on the CSFD truck and taking to the sky in the ladder truck platform. Jen was so excited about the exercise that she came back into the office the following day boasting about, “how great the view of the full moon was from 100 feet up in the air” and “how the guys really demonstrated their skills and capabilities and gave them a taste of some of the training they have to go through.” Stay tuned for more updates from the College Station Citizen’s Fire Academy!
