Each year, the Interboro Mutual Aid Group holds six mutual aid drills.  At least three Interboro towns must participate in each drill.  The host town may opt to include more towns.  Host towns need to provide the Drill Committee with at least 10 days notice of each planned drill. 

Drill Schedule

New Milford FD also attended.  There was a simulated roof collapse set up in the second floor.  The FAST team had to extricate two downed firefighters.  Aside from being an extremely realistic exercise that taxed the particiapants, valuable lessons were learned that reinforced existing practices and identified areas for improvement of existing operations.
