Gossett & Co. invited the Central Austin community to Austin Fire Department's live house fire training at a home scheduled to be demolished soon.
Austin firefighter Steve Norman says it's often a challenge for the department to get realistic training to they are grateful for the partnership with Gossett & Co.
"We usually do in-house or do department wide training and those are separate scenarios, and we sometimes use our training props that we use, but it's really hard to replicate an actual structure that's already established," Norman said. Community members even got in on the fun and had the chance to ask the firefighters about the truck and equipment used.
"Be able to take care and show what we do is the best example we can get because we're a part of the community, and they're here for us, and we're here for them," says Norman. "It was so generous of the Austin Fire Department to do this, and he really loved everything taking him around and showing him every part," says a man who attended with his son.that I have read and agree
