Firefighters hone life-saving skills

Defence Fire Service Firefighters Malcolm Strickland, left, from Ramsgate, Kent, and Steve Scales, from Broadstairs, Kent, both 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department firefighters, use a handline to practice extinguishing a fire March 18, 2014, in the structural trainer on RAF Mildenhall, England.

Firefighters hone life-saving skills

Defence Fire Service Firefighter Paul Cusden, left, from Ramsgate, Kent, and DFS Crew Manager Chris Gould, from Acle, Norfolk, both 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department firefighters, make their way to the top of the fire training house March 18, 2014, during live-fire training on RAF Mildenhall, England. The simulated house provides a variety of fire hazards, enabling the firefighters to practice and hone their live-saving skills for different situations. The difference between the upstairs and downstairs training is the way the firefighters make entry. The technique to fight the fire is the same, but they use a ladder to gain access to the upper level. While one crew attacks the fire downstairs, another crew ladders the facility, locates the fire and attacks it on the second level. Everything on scene is relayed to the incident commander, and the incident safety officer continuously observes the scene and firefighter actions, ensuring overall safety on scene.
