For several months prior to the training burn the house was utilized for search and rescue drills, ventilation training and various other drills. On Saturday morning crews practiced defensive operations, breeching with a piercing nozzle and utilization of foam. The department also viewed a demonstration of the Blitzfire portable master stream device. In addition to the drills, training and demonstrations, the trinaing burn provided an excellent way to show members of the department actual fire behavior and reaction. Please see our Photo Gallery for photos from this training event.

Hamilton Township Fire Rescue has declared Sunday October 30, 2005 Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery day in Hamilton Township. The program is sponsored by the International Association of Fire Chiefs and Energizer brand batteries, the program urges you to adopt a simple lifesaving habit: Change all of your Smoke Alarm batteries when you change your clocks back to Standard Time on October 30, 2005. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that every year in the United States, about 3,000 people lose their lives in residential fires. Most fire victims die from inhalation of smoke and toxic gases, not as a result of burns. Most deaths and injuries occur in fires that happen at night while victims are asleep. Hamilton Township Fire Rescue reccomends you change the betteries in all your smoke detectors yearly, as well as testing the smoke alarm monthly. Published: October 22, 2005
