Training for propane fires

Firefighters from several departments in the northern and northwest suburbs recently had a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on experience during training focused on propane fires. These sessions are essential for improving emergency response skills and ensuring safety in real-life situations.

Tim Olk was present at the training event held in Highland Park, where firefighters from Glencoe, Highland Park, Libertyville, and Lake Bluff participated. The exercises provided a realistic environment to practice handling liquid propane fires, which can be particularly dangerous due to their potential for rapid spread and intense heat.

Meanwhile, Larry Shapiro covered a similar training session in Buffalo Grove, where firefighters from Wheeling, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, Long Grove, Mundelein, and Libertyville came together for joint exercises. These collaborative efforts help build strong working relationships between departments and ensure a unified approach to handling hazardous incidents.
