Recent Training
On April 18th Greenwood and Hudson Oaks VFDs trained
at the Johnson County Live Burn facility near Cleburne. The facility
duplicates the environment of a real house fire with smoke so
dense you can't see 4 inches and temperatures are 5-600 degrees
.
Here three Greenwood FFs enter the burn chamber to
put out the fire and test themselves in a difficult environment!
On May 18th several Parker County TX volunteer
fire departments, including Greenwood, met in Cool
Texas at Johnny's Wrecking Yard to practice vehicle
extrication - using the "jaws of life" to free victims
pinned in car wrecks. This training helps prepare
firefighters for the real thing. Key to the exercises
was safely removing the patients who may have
spinal injuries. Firefighters also practiced with
air bags, stabilization struts, air chisels and
other rescue tools.
