"New" Cascade System Arrives

CTC Fire took delivery of a "new" loner cascade system with compressor on Wednesday.  The actual new cascade system is still being built and will be delivered in October.  The loner system from Air Systems of SC will greatly increase the efficiency of the CTC Firefighting class allowing students to be able to fill up their SCBA cylinders during class and allowing for more time "on air."  A special thanks goes to the CTC administration for making the purchase of the new cascade system possible.
