The Murphysboro Fire Department conducts regular training exercises to ensure that all members are prepared to handle a variety of situations which they may encouter. In the photographs below the fire department demonstrates how to properly vent a flat comercial style roof, and proper techniques for pulling ceilings.
Firefighters work at pulling ceilings on the interior of the structure.
Murphysboro Engine 10 is set up at the building being used for training. Firefighters practice venting the roof as Fire Chief Jack Pieron looks on. Firefighters continue venting the roof and gain valuable experience on what to and what not to do. All rights reserved.
