Large Open Space Search Drill at Lower Merion High School
By Deputy Chief Blaine Leis
October 27, 2010
Tonight we traveled to the "Old" Lower Merion High School for some more intense training with our friends from Philadelphia Fire Department. Tonight, Jon Riggs and Mike Polek both from Squad 72 came out to the Kingdom to instruct Gladwyne Members about search and rescue techniques and large open space searches. Gladwyne Firefighters were educated in these disciplines and then practiced them in the old high school on the second floor. After drill, we returned to the firehouse, cleaned up and ate a nice dinner together.
Units:
Ladder 24, Engine 24, Air 24
