On Monday night, March 10th, Limerick crews focused on basic firefighting tasks typically performed during the first 20 minutes of a fire. The training featured a timed evolution with various physically demanding tasks, including deploying charged hose lines, dragging five-inch supply lines, forcible entry, carrying ladders, and hauling tools. The goal was to emphasize the intense anabolic energy expended in a short period.
