Ocala Fire Rescue Training In Southeast Ocala


Capt. Adam McCormick, a training captain, is barely visible through heavy smoke inside a simulated burning house during Ocala Fire Rescue fire ground engine company operations training on Southeast 13th Avenue in Ocala, Fla. on Friday, March 12, 2021. Ocala Fire Rescue was able to acquire the Murphy house for the training that allows firefighters to prepare for incidents in a more real setting than can be replicated in a training facility. Members of Ocala Fire Rescue completed non-destructive simulations that focused on search-and-rescue, salvage and overhaul, ladder operations and protection of exposures during the training from Wednesday, March 10 to Friday, March 12. In all, 7 Engines, 4 Rescues and a Tower went through the training for Ocala Fire Rescue. [Bruce Ackerman/Ocala Gazette] 2021.
