On occasion, the WRFD conducts training in the form of a role-playing
game. Firefighters, engineers and officers take turns assuming each
other's roles for a scenario in which we simulate an incident at a
building within our Borough. Through exercises like these, every
member learns how and why we develop guidelines on how to handle
different types of incidents at different locations.

A map of the "incident scene" is drawn on a magnetic eraseable white board. The "apparatus drivers" place their magnetic apparatus icons where they would place the apparatus if there were an actual incident. After the simulated incident, apparatus placement is one of the things which is critiqued by the membership. Training sessions like these help us decide what might be the best possible course of action in the event of an actual incident. |

Each scenario stops and starts as often as necessary while the membership discusses how and why to best proceed. |

The members acting as interior firefighters wear SCBA masks to practice communicating clearly through the masks. |
|
Members acting as officers during each scenario use an actual two-way FRS radio to practice effective radio communication. |

A slide projector displays an image of the building where the simulated incident is taking place. An overhead transparency projector is used to create a simulated fire or smoke condition on the building, simulating what the officers and firefighters would see on the scene. |
