Volunteer firefighters train with burn trailer
February 20, 2012
(The Charleston Gazette) Brent Ferrell and his teammate dropped to the floor and crawled inside the smoke-filled trailer Saturday with a long hose and one goal on their minds: extinguish the small fire on the other side.
Ferrell was one of about 17 student volunteer firefighters at Harts Volunteer Fire Department who took part in a training course Saturday to become certified volunteer firefighters. The students entered West Virginia University’s Mobile Fire Training Unit—a live-fire training module that can be set on fire repeatedly—and battled blazes in an effort to earn their uniform.
