PRINCE ALBERT -- Members of the Prince Albert Fire Department (PAFD) are running through scenarios that simulate being trapped in a burning building as part of the Fire Ground Survival Course. “If something goes wrong at a fire scene these are the skills that we would need to help ourselves out of bad situation where you could get lost or disorientated or trapped,” said PAFD Battalion Chief Darcy Rusk. One firefighter at a time runs through the simulation exercise. Members wear their full gear, their breathing apparatus and their visors is blacked out so they can’t see. Firefighters are trained to follow the hose line to the truck to find an exit out of the building. They have to crawl along the floor, go down stairs, crawl through holes in the walls and clear obstacles from their path while pass alarm is sounding and other member try to further disorientate the path to the out.
