   "We're practicing stretching the lines, there are a lot of 90-degree angles, so we have to make sure to keep the hoses working," said NLTFPD Captain Steve Alcorn."We're also doing a tactical size-up, which is looking at the building and determining where the fire is, how fast it is moving and what direction it's going."
   
   Firefighters are able to practice in conditions similar to those in a real burning building.
   
   "When you're in there it's dark, you can't see anything so a lot of times you have to go just by sound," Alcorn said.
   
   Each firefighter has a P.A.S.S. (personal alert safety system) device attached to his uniform, which makes a sound when he doesn't move for 30 seconds, notifying others that someone may be in trouble.
