On Wednesday 5th April 2017, our Sydney Greene Fire crews consisting Mike Harrington, Scott Riley and Karl Pettit, went on a fire training course which was run by the NSW Fire Brigade.
They spent the day learning some of the salient tasks that Fire Fighters complete which included;
- The PAT. Physical Aptitude Test that all Firefighters have to pass before joining
- Wearing breathing apparatus before walking up a 7 storey tower to simulate dealing with a real fire situation
- Going 35 metres up in a BMU unit connected to a fire brigade truck which simulated how to attack a fire from a height
- Using the ‘Jaws of Life’ to remove car doors to simulate how to get to victims in a traffic accident
- Using the hose to simulate putting out fires
“It helps us better understand the importance of fire safety systems and why we work so hard to promote these systems.” Karl Pettit, NSW
