Over the last few weeks, newer firefighters from Candlewood Company and Brookfield Volunteer Fire Department have spent their mornings training how to operated the fire apparatus on a static course laid out at Huckleberry Hill Elementary School. They practiced maneuvers like parallel parking and 'alley docking' in a simulated driveway to start to becoming proficient in driving these more than 30 foot long vehicles. This is the first part in a series of training they must go through before they start driving and operating apparatus to and at emergency scenes.
