Portsmouth Firehouse Part 2 on Portsmouth this Week
Part 2 of an Introduction to the Portsmouth Firehouse on PTW
The 21 June edition of Portsmouth this Week was taped at the Portsmouth Firehouse for the second week in a row. This week's edition takes a look at the Fire station itself, including the living and working spaces for the Fire figthers who are routinely on watch for long periods of time, the Emergency Operations Center, where any weather or other emergency situation in town is monitored and managed, and also the various training and maritime apparatus frequently used by the Portsmouth Fire Department. My guide through these spaces was Fire Chief Mike Cranson and highlights include a display of the firefighters training on the ladder truck.
