Live Burn Drill

    Thanks to the Colchester Volunteer Fire Department, the Hebron firefighters were given the opportunity to practice firefighting at the Colchester Burn House.  Members of all three Hebron Companies, as well as Glastonbury and Colchester practiced everything from searches to second floor fire attacks, while EMS personnel ran rehab services.
