Sadsburyville Firefighters conducted more hose line management and live fire training this past Monday night. The night began with an overview of hose lines and car fires. Following that a car was lit off and crews put their skills into action by using a 1-3/4" attack line to extinguish the flames.

Numerous evolutions were completed and everyone got a chance to help put the fires out. The night was a success and the volunteers put in 3 hours of training time.
