On Tuesday November 28th, 2023 at 19:00hrs the Selden Fire Department Truck Company One held a drill at the training grounds on Highview Drive, in Selden. The drill was based upon garage fires with extension to the home. The situation was supposed to mimic a vehicle fire in the attached garage of a home, extending to the first and second floor, throughout the home. Company members utilized a burn box to increase the volume of fire. Members pulled lines from Engine 5 and began to knock down the vehicle fire and then into the home to knock down the remaining fire. Members also searched the building and located a victim. The victim was pulled from the building. After searches were completed and the fire was knocked down the building was vacated. Clean up concluded the drill, hoses were packed and the burn box was deconstructed. Selden EMS provided rehab for members.
