Happy Halloween from the Turlock Fire Department! 👻🎃💀

Turlock Firefighters were conducting Annual Trench Rescue refresher training today.

Turlock Firefighters conducting Ventilation Training at an acquired structure this weekend.

The opportunity to use real houses for training is a great way for firefighters to train on scenarios that they will encounter in the real world.

During a Structure Fire, Firefighters will use a chainsaw to cut a hole in the roof of a Structure which will act as a “chimney” and release smoke and heat from the interior of the house. This tactic will provide for better conditions inside for trapped victims and firefighters working inside.
