While the training exercises are similar to those done in January, it is a different building, which presents its own challenges. (This) gives us an opportunity to train in a real-life environment. Something that is unique, Frazier said.
The department informs the public about training exercises through signage outside of a building and through public news releases. The police department and Boone County Joint Communications is notified in case they receive any calls. There is always that chance that someone is not going to know, Frazier said.
What were the training exercises?
The department was simulating a fire in the third floor of the fraternity building Wednesday. With that, they were running a water-charged hose line up to that floor. Firefighters also had to identify which room contained the simulated fire to put it out.
