Members of the Gananoque Fire Service are continuing their Search and Rescue and Rapid Intervention Team, or RIT, training.
During an evening training session this week, crews worked through low-visibility conditions, patient searches and RIT scenarios.
The training focused on communication, accountability and working together under pressure.
Firefighters regularly train in challenging conditions to prepare for situations where they may need to locate and assist a member of the public, or quickly respond if another firefighter is in trouble.
The Gananoque Fire Service says the goal is to ensure crews are ready when their skills are needed most.
The training provides firefighters with an opportunity to practice procedures, strengthen teamwork and build confidence before responding to an emergency.
