On 11/20/2007 Sta. 50 held their company drill at MFRI Centreville.  The members used the burn building to practice live fire evolutions.  They were divided into 3 teams: fire attack, search & rescue, and ventilation while conducting the burns.  The company would like to thank the MFRI instructors for a great drill.
