Good job to everyone on the 1410 drill last week. It was a huge improvement over the first time we ran that evolution. Through increased profficiency and teamwork we reduced our average time on Evolution 1 by over one minute and we were well below the NFPA recommended time of 3 minutes. Congratulations to Shift 1 for having the fastest time at 1:48 and Shift 3 for having the best average time.
The average times are as follows:
Shift 1- 2:30
Shift 2- 2:41
Shift 3- 2:19
Dept.- 2:30
