SUMMARY: Luxy firefighters are undergoing intensive scenario-based training at Station 7, improving their skills to save lives and property. Over 150 firefighters are participating, each completing 18 hours of training, which includes using the Darren Endis Training Tower. Simulated scenarios involve rescuing trapped firefighters under various conditions, highlighted by limited visibility from smoke machines. Supervisors monitor progress with thermal cameras. This critical training contributes to their ISO rating, currently a 2, with aspirations to achieve a 1, resulting in lower fire insurance costs for residents. The comprehensive training ensures firefighters are well-prepared for real emergencies.

Over the next week, Biloxi firefighters will undergo 18 hours of intense scenario-based training.
