March 3rd, 2007 • This evening, 17 GAFC Members participated in an interior search training session. The training was led by Lieutenants Schlegel & Sitlinger and focused on preparing The Firefighters for circumstances that may require them to enter a smoke filled environment and perform an interior search. Lieutenants Schlegel & Sitlinger constructed a maze consisting of a 2' diameter pipe, stairs, tables, and chairs. Members worked in teams of 2 in full PPE, including a SCBA. The teams were supervised at the beginning of the maze, which consisted of crawling through the 2' pipe and climbing a set of stairs, by Lieutenant Sitlinger and at the end of the maze, which consisted of navigating an arrangement of tables and chairs to simulate walls, by Lieutenant Schlegel.Station 27 Crew: Chief 27 (H.
