Ormond Beach firefighters have spent the month of August training in aerial operations.
In a Facebook Post, the Ormond Beach Fire Department explained that aerial operations "are critical in scenarios where access to upper floors is essential, whether for rescue or to establish elevated standpipe operations."
"During this training, each crew member took turns setting up and operating our aerial apparatus, focusing on precision, speed, and teamwork," the post stated. "This hands-on experience ensures that our team is always prepared to effectively deploy these lifesaving tools under the most challenging conditions."
Firefighters practiced positioning quint fire trucks, simulating rescues and more. From Monday, Aug. 26 to Wednesday, Aug. 28, the training took part at the Ormond Renaissance Condominiums.
