On Wednesday night a crew from the Carman Fire Department took
part in a Mutual Aid Drill with the Fort Hunter Fire Department in Guilderland.
Members staffed Truck 132, along with Chief 137, to take part in a burn drill
at the Guilderland Training Tower in Albany County. Two scenarios were played
out; The first one was that Truck 132 arrived first to a house fire in Fort
Hunter and assumed engine company operations, The second was that Truck 132
arrived as the first due truck company (most likely scenario) and performed
truck company operations (laddering, ventilation, and search and rescue task). All
in all the scenarios played out very well, with some small issues which were
noted and will be worked on in the future.
A special thanks for Fort Hunter for their invitation and hospitality
during the event.
