🔥 Live Fire Training: Honoring Tradition, Embracing Innovation 🔥 Firefighting is a craft built on experience, but adapting to new challenges keeps us sharp

By West Chicago Fire Protection District

March 20, 2025

During our latest Live Fire Training, we put both classic tactics and modern techniques to the test—ensuring our firefighters are ready for anything.

🔥 Time-Tested Tactics: We reinforced vent-enter-search (VES) techniques, including conducting primary searches from ladders on the second floor. These critical skills help us quickly locate and rescue victims in challenging conditions.

🚒 Modern Advancements: Integrating thermal imaging cameras, data-driven fire behavior analysis, and refined hose stream techniques allows us to improve efficiency, safety, and effectiveness on the fireground.

By blending tradition with innovation, we make sure our crews are always prepared. Training never stops, and neither do we!
