Warwick’s 24 fire recruits began their live burns this week, the 15th of their 18 training weeks. Instructors bring them through live fire scenarios in their training facility that’s set up as a two-story structure with fire on both floors. They’ll have multiple teams in place during their 20-minute scenarios. Some will cut the roof open to release the flames and smoke, others will operate ladders, and some will remove a “victim.” Safety teams are on hand to take care of issues as the recruits run through their six scenarios a day. On Friday, they’ll go to the Rhode Island Fire Academy to take their practical burn exam. (Warwick Beacon photos)

After this, the next training session is taking Engine 3 to Dave's to buy 3 slices of ham, 2 slices of cheese, and 1 bulky roll. Precisely at 9:30 every day.

Maybe The Captain can train them on following people around and video recording them.
