On July 24, Attleboro Fire Department personnel finished a three-day advanced aerial operations program to improve fireground preparedness and ladder truck operations.

Under the direction of Response Training Group, the training included both classroom teaching and practical exercises using Ladder 1 at several Attleboro buildings. In settings akin to those they confront during emergency responses, firefighters rehearsed aerial placement, apparatus positioning, building access, rescue operations, and tactical decision-making.
