    Medford, OR – According to the officials, this real-world opportunity allowed firefighters to hone their ventilation skills, a crucial technique in firefighting that improves safety and visibility during fire operations.

    When a fire occurs, smoke quickly fills a structure, creating low visibility and heightened risk for both victims and responders.

    Ventilation techniques help remove smoke and heat, making it easier for crews to locate trapped individuals and extinguish the fire more efficiently.

    Training on an actual structure is particularly beneficial, as each house presents unique challenges with varying roof pitches, layouts, and construction materials.

    This practical experience is key to enhancing the skills necessary to protect lives and property during emergencies.

    A special thank you to everyone who made this valuable training opportunity possible!
