Over the past couple of day’s members of Lowell Fire department has been doing some on the job training under the watchful eye and direction of Capt. Tom McCullough the Lowell Fire Training officer.
The training which they have been practicing is to prepare them for evacuating an area in an emergency situation in which their primary route has been blocked by debris or fire.
In the drill the fire fighter would have to use a tool; either axe or halligan tool; to punch a hole through the wall between the wall joists then using a technique known as “The reduced profile” in which the fire fighter loosen the straps to their SCBA and partly removes it crawls through the wall.
Fire fighters where all so instructed on and practiced a couple other methods known as “The swim” and one which was shown to be very effective is a modified version of “The swim.”
