Members from Vandergrift # 1, Oklahoma, Parks Twp, Apollo # 3, and Washington Twp participated in 16 hours of training over the weekend.  The "Firefighter Survival" course covered various safety topics as well as practical applications that a firefighter could use if they happened to get into trouble in a fire.  Skills learned included: calling a "Mayday" transmission, emergency breathing, ladder bailouts, window egresses and hang drops, and rope bailouts.  The course instructors, led by Chief Nick Sohyda of the Mt. Lebanon Fire Department, were a wealth of knowledge and experience.  The members of George G. McMurtry would like to thank the instructors and outside agencies who participated for this excellent training session. 

Pictures will be added soon!
