What has Camp 62 been up to?

Along with hours of classroom learning, physical fitness and crew building, the recruits are now getting opportunities to build skill sets and tool knowledge for various demands of the job.

Things such as
- Vehicle extrication using hydraulic and battery operated tools as well as hand tools
- Forcible entry techniques for residential and commercial doors
- K12 saw skill for making entry through garage doors or structural debris
- Search techniques for both rescue operations as well as firefighter survival.

Shout out to our Heavy Rescue Teams, as both HR117 and HR121 both spent hours teaching the recruits vehicle extrication techniques

A huge thank you to the Staff at the Pick n Pull located in South Salt Lake for providing vehicles and space for our recruits to learn! Thank you!

We Will Always Remember.

25 years later, we remember the lives lost, the sacrifices made, and the heroes who answered the call on September 11, 2001. 343 firefighters were lost that day. Many more in the years to come as a result of that fateful day in September.
Some of our firefighters responded in the days following the attacks. Others weren’t even born yet.
But today, we stand together—remembering the past, honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and carrying their legacy forward.

We Will Never Forget.

Camp 62 continues on!

Chainsaw Operations and Vertical Ventilation

Recruits have been learning proper chainsaw maintenance, techniques and team communications. Saws are widely used and considered a key tool in firefighting operations.

Roof operations is one of those times where the saw is an important tool, and is very effective in the tactical decision to vertically vent a roof

Vertical ventilation is a tactic where crews cut an opening in the roof of a building to help remove smoke and heated gases from the interior of a structure. When used in conjunction with interior operations, this is a great tactic to improve conditions on a fire ground scene.
