Battalion 2 progressed nicely with their Ventilation Class and nearing the end of the class we were asked to do an Interview for WSOC-TV Channel 9 News with Allison Latos.

The Skills included:
Emergency Response as a Full Engine Company
Initial Size-up on the Radio with Command Established
Forcible Entry
Stretching the Attack Line and a Backup Line
Searching the structure - Primary Search with victim found and rescued and Secondary Search
Ladder Work with a Backup Ladder on the opposite side of the structure
Ventilation Team simulating cutting the Vent Hole on the roof and punching the ceiling.
All tasks were communicated to Command and updates were provided to Communications
Knot Tying Skills were also demonstrated.

The Interview went well and Chief Allen of Concord Fire and Life Safety assisted.
