Local area fire training

This from Steve Redick:

I was lucky enough to be able to attend a live-fire training exercise at a vacant motel complex in Niles recently. I got some really nice images and wanted to share a few plus a short video.

This from John Tulipano:

I had a great opportunity to attend a NIPSTA live-fire training drill at a vacant motel in Niles on Friday, along with Steve Redick and Tim Olk. What a great opportunity as a fire photographer to get some great images while watching the young candidates were put through their paces.

CAFT flashover training

The Buffalo Grove, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, and Long Grove Fire Departments spent several nights this week rotating companies through the flashover training prop at the Combined Area Fire Training Center in Buffalo Grove. Tim Olk and Larry Shapiro stopped by to document the fun.
