Live fire training
Live fire training exercises are vital to fire department training. It allows the fireman the opportunity to experience a real-life scenario. These pictures show a house CAAN Homes donated. Firefighters were able to work as a team in conditions which cannot be simulated. This training might mean the next fire they respond to is put out a little faster. Or even better a family member rescued a little sooner.
The community CAAN Homes serves. No Firefighter wants to go into a fire. It is dangerous. Engine and Truck crews received vital practice on a property owned by CAAN Homes. CAAN Homes and Des Plaines Fire Department working together to make you safer.
