On Sunday, May 5, 2019, the members of the Lynbrook Fire Department conducted training evolutions at the closed Hot Skates building on Merrick Road at Rocklyn Avenue.  The department's training committee, under the command of Second Assistant Chief John Donald, conducted fire suppression, search rope and rescue training utilizing the Bullex^®Attack^™ Digital Fire Training System to simulate fire like conditions.  The Bullex^® system incorporates computer controlled smoke machines with waterproof TV monitors to simulate a fire, which was set up in the snack bar area.  Three rescue mannequins, simulating fire victims, were placed through out the smoke filled building.  While crews of firefighters advanced hose lines to the fire area, other firefighter teams searched for victims.  When the rescue mannequins were located they were carried out by the firefighters and taken to waiting EMT's from the department's Emergency Medical Company.  The training committee then presented a critique of the training operation.  Lynbrook's Fire Chief Nick Pearsall said, "It is through training sessions like this that our Lynbrook firefighters become more proficient in safeguarding the residents of Lynbrook."
