OC Fire Authority trains for emergencies in LW

LW FIRE TRAINING

The Orange County Fire Department conducted a fire emergency drill in Mutual 15, near building 7 along Del Monte Drive.

The exercise was conducted outdoors and included the use of smoke machines, mannequins as victims, laying hoses among other drill activities.

The goal of this exercise was to train firefighters from stations near Leisure World— including stations in Long Beach—on the topography and building layout in Leisure World.

Stations from the Long Beach Fire Department also came to Leisure World to train alongside OCFA.

Emergency personnel performed rescues and practiced medical procedures throughout the training.
