Over the past few weeks, the West Paterson Fire Department has had the opportunity to drill at the old Kearfott facility at 1150 McBride Ave. The contractors are preparing to have the building knocked down, which has allowed the department access to some great training. They have been able to practice hose line advancement, searches, roof ventilation and safety when operating on roofs, overhaul, breaching sheetrock and concrete walls, RIT operations and much more. They look forward to more drills there in the upcoming weeks before the building is knocked down. The Department sends its thanks to the contractors for allowing them to access to this once-in-a-lifetime hands-on training.
