I wanted to share a few photos I took of the 6-3-1 high expansion foam unit during a training exercise back in September. These images really capture the unit in action and show how it's used in real situations. The drill involved Engine 26, Truck 7, and Engine 103, and it was led by Battalion 4.
Engine 103 was part of the drill because if either Engine 26 or Truck 7 is unavailable, they're the next unit on standby to operate the 6-3-1. I was told that Battalion 4 also plans to conduct similar drills with other companies in their area to ensure everyone is familiar with this important piece of equipment.
The 6-3-1 is especially useful in situations where fires need to be "smothered," such as in basements, confined spaces, or small storefronts. It can quickly fill an area with foam to suppress flames and prevent them from spreading. This kind of apparatus is crucial for handling tricky fire scenarios where traditional methods might not be effective.
It’s always interesting to see how these specialized units are trained and operated. I think it’s great that the department takes the time to ensure all crews are prepared and comfortable working with this type of equipment. It makes a big difference when it matters most.
