Over 60 Fire Fighters Participated in Live Drill

On Sunday, March 4th, over 60 members from the Hawthorne Fire Department, Glen Rock, Wyckoff, Haledon and Prospect Park Fire Departments participated in a live drill at three buildings at Sotnick Street in Hawthorne. The drill was conducted as a live event, and arriving engines were put to work running hose and search-and-rescue as tower companies worked on initial roof ventilation. Mutual aid departments were co-opted in roles and as RIC teams. Later in the morning, department crews rotated through different event-stations that included smoke-filled rooms, some roof ventilation situations, and navigating through the building construction.
