Wagontown attends structural burn with Coatesville
December 18th 2007
By Asst. Chief Ziegler

On a very brisk Saturday morning, the crews from Wagontown left for the West Chester Fire Training School. The purpose was for a joint training with the Coatesville Fire Department (41 &43).  The morning was met by a briefing from Captain Steve Dobson of Coatesville who went over the training objectives for today's events.  In the morning crews worked first and second floor fires, which allowed for the Wagontown crews to master the newly added High Rise/Long lay pack. Crews then worked with the Coatesville Fire department and Mittal Steel Emergency Service personnel in mixed teams.  Crews then  drilled on first and second floor fires as a means of access to these fires.  While the senior members where in the burn building, the juniors were taken to the drill tower for some air pack work, in the mazes by FF Guyer from the CFD.  All in all it was a very good day for the working relationships of the companies involved.  Thanks go out to the CFD for the invite and the crew from Modena (37) who stood by while most of the members attended the training.
