Folks, it's one thing to park in front of a red curb, but to park on the fire hydrant itself, come on.
This truck was found like this in the Ivory subdivision on 2700w. The truck had been stolen and the kids didn't make the turn. Obviously.

We had a great home to train on. It was donated to us from a couple that
was going to tear it down to build a new home. We practice our ventilation techniques
and a drill that we call wall breaching. Ventilation is a process in which we will
create openings in the roof with a chainsaw and then punch the ceiling drywall off
of the trusses. This creates a "chimney" that will allow the heat, smoke, and gases
to escape from the structure and give the victims a better chance of survival.
It also makes firefighting operations more effective and efficient for firefighters.
These holes are what the roof will look like when the job is done.
I am demonstrating different types of foot holds we can use
when up on a steep roof.
We also do wall breaches to evacuate someone who is trapped
and has no other way out. A wall breach is simply making your
own door out of an exsisting wall or window. Takes about 4 minutes.

I included a video to show what we do.
This is a house fire we fought just off 6200s. and 2200w. Paramedics Dave Mau and Nate Bogenshutz were the hero's inside that put out the fire. Captain gale and I shut off the utilities and got to break some glass and doors for ventilation. Engine 52 from West Jordan pumped water for us. We really appreciate are fellow city's for their help.
Cute Mau and Bogenshutz. The two biggest screw offs on the dept.
Maybe that's why their still single.
Not much left of the bedroom.
That black thing that looks like log at the bottom of the picture
is a mattress.
Capt. Gale trying to get the real story
the homeowner. She's bck peddlin.
