“This type of training is as close as you can get to fighting a real residential fire,” said Crains Creek Fire Department. “The pond on the scene was used for water supply which gave pump operators a great pumping experience.”
Crains Creek Fire Department thanked everyone who participated and for Moore County medic 28 for standing by. Bob’s Pizza supplied food for the firefighters.
The Aberdeen Fire & Rescue Department and other local fire departments will be conducting a live fire training exercise at 820 Carolina Road on Feb. 25 from 8 – 5 p.m.
These types of training exercises allow the departments to be better prepared and trained for future emergencies.
