“I am learning from you just like you’re learning from me,” Schildroth said. “I’m not a firefighter. That’s your lane. I’m the gas guy. Typically we’re two different lanes and when we get a gas leak we’re in the same lane. So the object of this is to mesh our protocols, our on-the-scene protocols, so everybody goes home safe at night.”
Four firefighters were present for the training, which lasted from 9–10:30 a.m.
