Thank you @Steve_2858 for capturing these great pictures from tonight's VEIS drill!
VEIS stands for vent, enter, isolate, search and is a tactic used by firefighters in structure fire search and rescue situations.

Just because it's warm outside doesn't mean the water is. Our rivers and lakes are still at frigid temperatures and can induce cold shock and hypothermia in a matter of minutes. Stay out of the water and know the signs.

Snow doesn't stop our firefighters from training! Tonight's drill was practice with hose and pumps.
