🔥 Maintenance Mode: Revamping Our Burn Cans! 🔥

Our live-fire burn cans see a ton of action. Because they are heavily used by so many surrounding departments, they definitely take a beating over time. We recently had the opportunity to get in there and do some much-needed maintenance and rebuilding to ensure they keep serving our area safely and effectively.

Keeping the facilities at ESEC in top shape is a priority so our local crews can train hard and train safe. Huge thanks to everyone who put in the sweat equity to get these props back in fighting shape! 🚒💪

What an incredible weekend wrapping up the Insight Fire Training: Thermal Search Class!

Hosting this right here at ESEC was an absolute success. On friday, we had a deep dive into thermal theory and strategy to Saturday’s live fire application, it was great to see everyone sharpening their skills on the training grounds.

A massive thank you to all the attendees. We also want to give a huge shoutout to our lunch sponsor, Stoops Freightliner - Western Star, for keeping the crews fueled!

🔥 It’s been an action-packed couple of weeks at the training grounds!

Our facilities have been running at full capacity, hosting multiple agencies. Here is a look at what’s been happening:

🏢 IFD Academy: For the last two weeks, their recruits have been hitting the tower, focusing on standpipe and high-rise operations.

🚒 Speedway Fire Department: Speedway companies were on-site conducting company drills

🔥 Greenwood Fire Academy: Greenwood recruits faced live burn evolutions, putting their classroom knowledge to the ultimate test.

It's great seeing our partners training hard and utilizing the facility to its fullest. Excellent work by all the recruits, crews, and instructors involved! 🤝

Today the Area 31 students learned downed firefighter packaging, as well as how to get a firefighter out of gear quickly to perform CPR.

These are both critical training scenarios that firefighters must know how to do for RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) calls.

Every engine/ladder should be equipped with RIT capabilities in case order of assignment (depending on area) puts them as RIT on arrival at any working fire.

Don’t miss out on this Live Fire Search and Rescue training! Join the Indiana Smoke Divers for a two-day class to sharpen your skills in challenging conditions.

Today the AM and PM Area 31 class were treated to a trip to fdicindy, believe us when we say they were all smiles after!

Today Area 31 students worked on forcible entry, and fire attack.

Attack is performed traditionally by an engine crew, forcible entry is traditionally performed by the truck companies, but in rural areas and smaller fire departments often both are performed by engine crews.

Regardless of assignment, always stay up on skills, you never know when you may need them!
