          TODAY WE'RE WORKING LIVE FIRE TRAINING.
SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE HAVING CREWS FROM   DIFFERENT STATIONS COME OUT, RUNNING SCENARIOS 
WITH LIVE FIRE. A LOT OF THESE GUYS ARE ALL AT   DIFFERENT STATIONS, SO BRINGING EVERYBODY TOGETHER TO ACTUALLY WORK TOGETHER IS VERY IMPORTANT. WE   HAVE SOME NEW HIRES THAT ARE GETTING TO GET IN ON 
IT. THEY'RE BRAND NEW. THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH US   FOR FOUR OR FIVE WEEKS AND THEY'RE GETTING TO COME 
IN AND WORK ON THEIR SKILLS. THE BENEFIT IS THAT   ACTUALLY REAL LIVE SCENARIOS. THEY CAN PRACTICE AT
FIRE STATIONS ALL DAY LONG, BUT UNTIL THEY COME   OUT AND ACTUALLY HAVE REAL FIRE IN A REAL BUILDING 
AND DO THE REAL HANDS-ON SKILLS, THIS KIND OF TIES   IT ALL TOGETHER AND AND THAT'S THE BIGGEST 
BENEFIT. IT JUST REALLY IMPROVES OUR RESPONSE TIMES. IT IMPROVES OUR TIME FROM 
THE TIME THE GUYS GET TO THE FIRE, PUT THE FIRE OUT.   THEY'RE EFFICIENT, THEY'RE WELL TRAINED AND THEY'RE 
SAFE AND THAT BENEFITS EVERYONE IN THE CITY.
