Another Training

The training pictured below was on Search & Rescue, SCBA, Fire Behavior, Roof Ventilation and Water Shuttling.

Asbury was joined in the six hour training by members from Kilpatrick Volunteer Fire Department in Dekalb County. The house was located on Pea Ridge Road in Asbury next to Piney Grove Baptist Church.

It was a great house for training as it was pretty much airtight and created a great smokehouse. Asbury burned the house at the request of the family.
