Complete with rooms, halls, working doors, stairs, some furniture and even obstacles, the only difference it has from a small house is that the stories are only 4 feet high. This forces us to practice staying low during search and rescue and fire attack practice, as we would during a structure fire with heavy smoke conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1460928063766-VRX4YUA96O010S9Z3NLR/DSC_0830.jpg Training - The Maze The Maze area in the basement is divided horizontally into two "stories," about 4 feet high floor to ceiling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1460926458543-9AKXX0A59YTP7OHY0XAP/DSC_0832.jpg Training - The Maze: Over/Under Obstacle The Over/Under is located in one of the hallways of the Maze. The object of this obstacle is to make firefighters practice maneuvering through tight spaces and to teach them how to remove their airpack, stay on air and effectively accomplish their task at the same time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1460928063683-5PIO6R2311BFR72QVAP2/DSC_0838.jpg Training - The Maze: Obstacles The Maze is built to be customizable and we often change the obstacles to refresh the training activities. We try to simulate conditions that could be found or happen in a structure fire. Pictured here is an uneven floor, to teach us to distribute our weight differently in the event of unstable floors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1460926958042-PUCVVKM7PUE0JNJB94GT/DSC_0847.jpg Training - Tools of the Trade Shown here are the most commonly used tools for fire attack. From top to bottom: TNT Tool, Pickaxe, Closet Pike Pole, Axe and Halligan Bar (Usually grabbed as a pair, known as the Irons), an extra Nozzle, Tarp, Toolbox with various cutters and wrenches, K-12 Saw and a Chainsaw. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1460926463358-6WQ36RXB3EN83MCXVZIN/DSC_0813.jpg Training - Training Enclosure Inside the training enclosure are the props that cannot be used inside the Station. We have a dumpster and shipping container to make controlled training fires to practice fire attack. We also have cars delivered from the local salvage yard to practice motor vehicle accident extrication. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1562093657063-JNX6AFEXC8A5VGPJ2SE0/IMG_7543.JPG Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1562093664041-AXNPKL1RDMK20GRLUVD8/IMG_7544.PNG Training https://www.montereyfire.org/facilities daily 0.75 2016-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1460924273524-U1QYRZXVHTXNKDXD3W79/DSC_0785.jpg Facilities - The Fire Station https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1460924274896-3AM62IHZUOMY3P9F7APZ/DSC_0768.jpg Facilities - The Fire Station https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1460924974798-0XO99ETVZLVZ1V6QLKE5/DSC_0802.jpg Facilities - Inside the Fire Station Turnout and brush gear is stowed in lockers, ready to be put on rapidly in the event of a call. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1460925213963-E2X2JS8HKO1S1XBRVT5U/DSC_0829.jpg Facilities - Inside the Fire Station In the basement of the Station, we have built a two story "house", that we use to practice search and rescue and fire attack. It is complete with rooms, doors, hallways, some furniture and stairs. The ceilings are very low to force the practice of staying low in heavy smoke conditions during a structure fire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1460924213505-B7317RAPQYQFD9KO3HIW/DSC_0821.jpg Facilities - The Pavilion and Gazebo Located directly behind the Fire Station from Main Road.

It is fenced off to keep visitors away from the training props that can potentially be unsafe to untrained persons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1460924217188-IHR59IKGSR199J388OL0/DSC_0813.jpg Facilities - Training Enclosure Props The training props pictured here, a dumpster and a shipping container, are used to practice fire attack. https://www.montereyfire.org/home-1 daily 1.0 2023-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1460909029083-R4N1VCSO3EN2A1GI3Q4G/DSC_0765.jpg Home https://www.montereyfire.org/apparatus daily 0.75 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570f901037013b53c7e3ee19/1469886391366-A7UOF88DJB5E1R4UHAXO/DSC_0755.jpg Apparatus - Engine 1 Ex.
