00:26.730 --> 00:28.640
- [Narrator] On a chilly October morning,

00:28.640 --> 00:32.860
on Dugway Proving Ground, the
DPG fire department conducted

00:32.860 --> 00:35.000
it's annual skills-day event

00:35.000 --> 00:37.770
at the Dugway Fire
Department Training Facility

00:37.770 --> 00:39.263
located in the West Desert.

00:40.490 --> 00:42.630
The fire department invited
the local work force

00:42.630 --> 00:46.230
to come and participate in some
live action training events

00:46.230 --> 00:48.170
to show-case their skills sets

00:48.170 --> 00:49.950
and to educate the work force

00:49.950 --> 00:51.190
in fire safety and prevention

00:51.190 --> 00:53.240
with hands-on training and demonstration.

00:54.140 --> 00:56.170
DPG employees were given instruction

00:56.170 --> 00:59.110
and the opportunity to extinguish fires,

00:59.110 --> 01:00.513
repel from buildings,

01:02.000 --> 01:05.080
don fire suits and dowse burning vehicles

01:05.080 --> 01:07.510
and breach doors all
under the watchful eyes

01:07.510 --> 01:10.303
of Dugway's world-class
fire department personnel.

01:11.961 --> 01:14.200
(band music)

01:14.200 --> 01:17.670
This unique event gives the
local employees the opportunity

01:17.670 --> 01:20.130
to learn more about the work and expertise

01:20.130 --> 01:22.770
of those who are here
to protect the workforce

01:22.770 --> 01:24.130
and the war fighter.

01:24.130 --> 01:26.830
And valuable lessons on
fire safety and prevention

01:26.830 --> 01:28.403
as we go about our everyday.

01:29.300 --> 01:30.710
- My name is Captain Chris Custer.

01:30.710 --> 01:32.090

several different skills

01:40.140 --> 01:42.750
that firefighters do on a daily basis.

01:42.750 --> 01:45.440
We have a car prop-fire

01:45.440 --> 01:48.770
to affectively extinguish a car fire.

01:48.770 --> 01:53.440
We have a tower of operations
set up for repelling.

01:53.440 --> 01:56.430
We have a fire extinguisher demonstration,

01:56.430 --> 01:59.117

02:02.550 --> 02:03.860
