Tuesday, July 29th, saw a number of SFD members travel to Yaphank for the SCFA Flammable Liquids Course. Since SFD doesn't employ foam all that often, the hands-on refresher on theory and tactics was very worthwhile and SFD was pleased to demonstrate once again why it is in the top percentile in the use of its equipment. Chiefs Killian and Rich directed operations on the field before all repaired to SFD Headquarters for a delicious meal prepared by Chefs McCarthy and Grattan.
