On June 25, 2008 Manchester Volunteer Junior Fire Department held a training at the Carroll County Fire Training Center. The juniors have been working hard over the last few months since re starting up the Junior program. On this day the juniors practiced simulated apartment fire's in the training tower. The junior's were split into two crews the engine or truck crew. The engine crew practiced advancing a charged hose line and putting out the simulated fire out. While the truck crew practiced throwing ladders, ventilating and performing search and rescue of victims. The juniors did very excellent despite having ranks split almost 50-50 of knowledgeable veteran juniors and rookies who this was their first or second meeting. The Advisors assisting the junior firefighting training: From Manchester VFD Nicholas Hornberger, Mark Avadikian, Jacob Geiman, Jimmy Nickoles, From Lansdowne VFC- Johnathan Noble, Sean Myers.
