The ladder truck has IMS training this morning, the engine and the medic unit had a couple runs. When we got back to the station we cleaned the stairwells and put down some new wax. After the IMS training we met for a quick lunch out today,
before the Engine had to go to the afternoon session of the IMS training. Today IMS class was the annual refresher and the use of the command board.
Chief Beckner expressing how important using IMS is for the safety and control of all fire scenes.
Here we have Capt. Wines in command riding on Engine 1 (apparently he is coming to front) after his request to be moved to the "Big Show" This training was showing how important it is for everyone to know and be comfortable with using the IMS board. We all discussed how command could be taken to a higher floor and the steps taken to prevent confusion.
Tiffany stopped by to talked to council man Rosen about some child seat installation for the near future as he and his wife are expecting anytime now.
After dinner and are normal clean up, we wanted to look and see how bad it was behind the stove. It had been a while since we had done it but after moving them out it was no where near as bad as we thought it might be. We knocked it out and mopped up ready to "kick it out" for the rest of the night.
