Before it was demolished to make way for a new apartment building, Jimmy’s Tavern on Bedford Road provided a priceless training opportunity for Katonah Fire Department volunteers. Taking full advantage of this, KFD volunteers converged on the site Monday night to drill in forcible entry, ventilation and search techniques. Crews divided into teams and rotated through various training evolutions for over two hours. It’s rare when an actual building is made available for training so we were happy to take advantage of this offering.
