Here is Drill Tower #1 where they practice and train.
The Training tower on the right can be filled with smoke, flame, and heat with the use of the "Burn Rooms" and smoke generators seen to the left. The tower is a warren of dark rooms, confusing under the best of conditions.
This is the view from the top of the Drill Tower East towards the Verdugo Mountains, part of the San Gabriel Range.
New Firefighters or "Rookies" were there training on the large ladder used for high rise fires.
This is the classroom which has signs about construction, roofing materials, and includes the sign "We Risk Alot to Save Alot".
We all got to take a ride on the firetruck, with the Siren and Lights On! Whoo Hoo!
The menfolk were thrilled to smash up the junk cars on the lot with sledge hammers.
My husband landed a beautiful shot on this poor unsuspecting car hood.
It's always been a dream to get to sit in the back of the Ladder Truck with the second steering wheel.
It was a wonderful day and I really appreciated our soccer coach who gives of himself so freely to both children and the community.
