This from Drew Smith:
Friday, May 23, NIPSTA Firefighter Academy Class 1402 traveled to the Skokie FD to use their training tower for live fires. It is week six of the nine-week academy and all basic skills have been completed and practiced in live fires. This week’s live fires were response evolutions where assignments were made using radio dispatch to the company officer (instructor). The 28 candidates working in companies with NIPSTA E2 and T1 performed a variety of skills including leadouts, laddering, forcible entry, and searches. This class graduates on June 13.
