Mahwah Fire Co. 3 was joined by Co. 5 -- as well as a member from Co. 3 currently on leave from the military -- as members ran an obstacle course that included zigzagging through cones, flipping a large tire, climbing up and down a ladder, and unrolling and rolling hose.
"It showed the members that you are going to exert yourself in a fire with things happening around you and they need to take it easy and not suck your air down," the fire company noted in a Wednesday Facebook post. The exercise stressed the point "that they can't exert all their energy in the first few minutes and to keep an eye on their air."
To keep with the fire company, follow it on Facebook.
