September 15, 2009 - Another great day started out with a greaqt breakfast with Brothers of the Hasbrouck Heights Fire Department, Little Ferry Fire Department's Ladder Company 307, Bergen County Fire Marshal Bryan Hennig and Sgt. Barry Leventhal from the Bergen County Police Departments Office of Emergency Management Office.
After exchanging hats, t-shirts, patches and stories our guests headed to the Fire Academy for Flashover training. Classroom orientation was first given by Senior Fire Instructor Alfred Gerber and then were brought out to the Flashover container and were shown how it works. Once that was completed Galilee firefighters were treated to a demonstration by Sgt. David Donow from the Bergen County Police Departments K-9 Unit.
Luchtime rolled around and we headed to the home of the Wyckoff Fire Department and enjoyed a fantastic lunch. WFD had their apparatus out for display and many of Wyckoff's Bravest were on hand to show our guests around, trade stories and even provided many different choices of firematic textbooks to take home with them.
Back at the Fire Academy, firefighters were shown the effects of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and how to help slow down or stop a potential Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE).
