The 2007
Fairfax County Truck Company Operations School kicked off on
April 23rd with 21 Fairfax County Suppression Lieutenants, 3
Loudoun County Lieutenants and 1 Firefighter from Fort
Belvior Fire Department. One week prior, Prince William
County Department of Fire & Rescue lost Kyle Wilson during a
house fire. One the first day of school, everyone agreed to
dedicate this school to Kyle. During the school, the
firefighters were subjected to various forms of ventilation,
firefighter survival techniques, elevator rescue and
control, rigging and stokes operations, forcible entry and
more. After one week, everyone seemed to have a bigger
appreciation for truck work, tool management and teamwork.
