This week’s drill focused on one of the most important firefighter survival skills: SCBA air management — and we brought a little competition into the mix!

Wearing full turnout gear and on air, our members faced off in a few rounds of dodgeball inside the apparatus bay. The fast-paced movement and elevated heart rates helped simulate the physical stress firefighters experience on the fireground, reinforcing controlled breathing, air awareness, and teamwork under pressure.

While it looked like fun (and there were definitely some laughs), the lesson was serious. Learning how to conserve air, monitor consumption, and communicate effectively while masked up can make all the difference when seconds count.

We’re proud of our members for continually sharpening their skills and finding creative ways to train. Because when the alarm sounds — we’re ready. 🚒💪
