Firefighters are what-if people. What if the ceiling collapsed? What if I become trapped in a fire? What if the people trapped in the elevator are incapacitated? Now those hypothetical scenarios can be created in real life thanks to the brand new, four-story training tower at the Los Lunas Fire Department’s westside station. The department led members of the public on tours of the tower and demonstrated features of its new aerial truck Saturday morning. “The training tower helps increase our safety and efficiencies,” said Los Lunas Fire Chief John Gabaldon. “It helps us practice techniques we can share among the entire department. If one crew sees something on a call, this lets us share across all shifts.” The training tower holds numerous rooms that can be used to recreate rescue scenarios for fire personnel.
