Class III gets it's Bangor Time

The third class of Firefighter I & II students for the 2009 school
year are climbing that ladder of success quite literaly today.
Gaining confidence on the ladders, the students each made their way up
and down the 5 floors worth of ladder, pausing twice to demonstrate
leg locks (a technique for securing a firefighter to the ladder with
no hands or tools).
The drill came easy to some, and less so for others, but at the end of
the evolution, all students were able to complete the objective.

Pumps Galore

Another Apparatus Operations class is underway at the college this
week. Students pictured are supplying a handline through and Engine,
via a portable float pump (not pictured).
