Johnson Creek Rainbow Hospice has a new facility in the village. The department took advantage of having a new institutional setting to practice before any patients were present. Visual reality was enhanced by the use of a smoke machine which helped to minimize visibility. Working through two scenarios, firefighters hauled hose, got connected, worked through situations from end to end with all gear donned with SCBA strapped to their backs. It was a learning experience for department members as well as the new hospice staff.
