Members demonstrated their skills of ventilating a structure’s roof on the member-built roof prop; furthermore, members drilled on ground ladder handling simulating a situation with limited manpower. Members demonstrated ground ladder drags, raises and placement to the building. To conclude the training night, members were also instructed on the use of a new fall protection system.
