Practice makes perfect

     Practice makes perfect. At least that is what the Loma Linda and Colton Fire Departments believe in. This weekend of April 30th, the two fire departments are holding a joint training session.

     The training being held at an abandoned apartments/house. Both departments are training to ventilate the roof. According to fire department official, by ventilating the roof, saves from more damage to the homeowner in a fire.

     Today's excersise took them on the roof of the house. Seven fire fighters took turn's going up the ladder to the roof. They then use chain saws and picks to cut holes in the roof.

     Fore those who enjoy watching fire and rescue personel, this is your chance. They will be there for the next couple of evenings doing verious training.


     The abandoned apartments and house are scheduled to be torn down by the end of May.
