Roof Ventilation Training
Tecluesta Fire Rescue uses training props to facilitate in house training. In this case, the roof
prop allows the firefighters to work on a roof at different pitches, and they learn to use the
tools of the trade like saws and axes. After practicing ventilation (cutting open the roof), the
materials are replaced, and the next firefighter gets his turn. All of this is done a few feet off
the ground for the safety of the firefighters
