May 2, 2011 (East County) -- A multi-company/ multi-agency drill hosted by the San Miguel  Fire District was held yesterday, givingEast County fire agencies an opportunity to work together to improve mutual-aid responses. The event included agencies such as CALFIRE, Sycuan, and San Diego Rural  Fire, giving them a rare opportunity to participate in a commercial structure drill.

 

 

 

The critical training was not a live fire event, but it included several props including:  roof cuts, and forcible entry  while the building was filled with heavy theatrical smoke. The training occurred at the former Blockbuster Video on Campo Road and Conrad Drive in Casa De Oro.
