INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Wayne Township firefighters brought an intensive program from Georgia to Indiana in an effort to offer local firefighters access to additional training that is expected to make a difference when it counts. Fox59 got an exclusive look at who is involved, and the possible impact of this training on local families.
Local firefighters created the Indiana Smoke Divers Association to bring an intensive training program to Indiana that they believe will better prepare local firefighters in the most intensive conditions. The program certification is not state recognized, but it is well respected among firefighters nationwide.
The training started on Sunday, and it will continue through Friday. At least 60 hours of training has been promised, and four firefighters have already dropped out. The program includes cardio training and skill building. The firefighters take on examples of real-life scenarios like a building collapse.
