Training
Norton Holds Live Fire Training On April 30, 2021, the Norton (MA) Fire Department made good use of a building set for demolition. The house on Leonard Street was set to be demolished to make way for new construction and was made available to the fire department to use for training. Many of Norton’s firefighters were in attendance as several training evolutions were performed. Each evolution utilized simultaneous operations with separate crews assigned to search and rescue, extinguishment, ladder operations and RIT. Both floors of the two-story wood framed house were used. Firefighters rotated roles during the evolutions so that they could get the most out of the training provided. - Fire News photo by Pat Travers
