Live Burn Drill

Sunday, April 25, 2010 This type of training does not happen that often anymore and when it does it is a huge benefit to a fire department. A big thank you goes out to Bernie Iacovangelo, a local business man and developer of Chili, for allowing the department to use this structure throughout the winter months for some hands on training which helped our new recruits get a feel for what it takes to work in a practical environment. They had a chance to learn the skills of venting a roof and to bring up their skills in search and rescue, initial fire, attack and R.I.T operations. This live burn drill marked the conclusion of the training at the house.

Attic Fire

Sunday, April 18, 2010 The Chili Fire Department responded for a possible attic fire Sunday evening. 4C-23 went on location with light smoke showing from the structure shortly after the assignment was upgraded to a working fire with heavy fire coming from the roof vents. Fire was knocked down within ten minutes and the cause of the fire was from the owner sweating pipes in the upstairs bathroom.
