Structure Fire + Live Burn Drill + 16 Calls = Busy Day

Yet another busy Saturday for CHFD volunteers. The day started at 04:00 with an automatic alarm that was quickly upgrated to a working fire. Units went to work locating and extinguishing multiple set fires in an office complex.

Following the fire, members assembled at the drill house for a few hours of live burn scenarios. From then on, a steady stream of calls followed with volunteers handling 16 calls today. We did manage to cook a decent dinner in between runs but no sooner did we drop our forks when that good old station 28 alarm sent us back out to do what we do. Just before midnight, with many members going on their 20th continuous hour at the firehouse we took in the last run for today (crash on West Rd). Good job everyone, now go home and get some rest!
