Fivay High School Fire Science Academy received a generous donation of a chainsaw, chain oil, and roof deck screws from the Lowe’s Home Improvement store in New Port Richey. This community support allows our students to learn/perform the techniques of vertical ventilation on our firehouse ground-level roof prop. Students will be closely supervised, with safety as a priority, as they cut ventilation holes in the roof decking to allow smoke and heat to escape a structure. This allows firefighters to control the fire flow path, create a tenable atmosphere, and improve visibility to interior fire crews. Lowe’s Home Improvement in New Port Richey has been huge support to our program over the past few years and they are committed to any future needs for our program. Thank you, Lowe’s, for your continued support of our students at Fivay High School Fire Academy!
