Fire & Safety Training

With Project K, we were given the opportunity to participate in 2 fire and safety training sessions. The training sessions involved us learning how to access fire hydrants, use the hydrants, stretchers, harnesses, fire fighting gear and we were even put into a specially engineered shipping containers to test ourselves in a live fire situation. Those containers are known as RFTB (or Realistic Fire Training Building!) and they provide a safe training area which acts as a real-life situation.

With Rochelle being a volunteer fire fighter, we had an extra helping hand and Rochelle correctly taught us some of the procedures and how to use a lot of the equipment.

It was an amazing experience and has led to me having an interest in becoming a volunteer fire fighter when I turn 16.  🙂
