Live Burn Training

Saturday, October 22, 2011  Members of Leland Fire/Rescue and numerous other departments had the unique opportunity to conduct fire training on an actual house in the Leland area.  A training activity known by fire fighters as a Live Burn was held on Saturday to provide new recruits with their first actual room in content experience, and allowed seasoned members to refine their skills.  During this event, a number of Leland members also worked on qualifying for the Live Burn Instructor certification.  The event was overall a great success.


An additional opportunity arose when the Wrightsville Beach Fire Department contacted LVFRD and asked if they can conduct air quality sampling during the event.  WBFD is in the process of performing tests on actual fire events to study the level of Cyanide that fire fighters are exposed to. Cyanide is an extremely toxic substance found in fires that is believed to cause a number of fire fighter fatalities.  The final report will be published on our website in the future.
