Foam Training With Mutual Aide Companies 12/9/18
Another event from this weekend was our Foam 101 course at the Brick Borough Fire Training School. On Sunday crews from the Borough, St. Sprenklesburg, and West Brick Borough came to increase their knowledge about the use of foam on the fireground. There were several hands-on burns and other activities held during this group training. Units at the training either have foam on board or deal with fires that would require foam. Apparatus that attended the event included Brick Borough Engines 1 and 7, Attack 1, and Utility 1 with the foam trailer, St. Sprenklesburg Rescue 17, and West Brick Borough Engine 1-1. It was a very successful training overall, and big thank you to everyone who came out!

To all celebrating the holidays this season—whether it be Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Christmas—we wish you the safest and most blessed occasions with family and friends.
