INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA (WISH) — While hundreds of Mayors are in town for a national conference, they will receive training on all sorts of topics. But one thing they might not expect is a look into the training firefighters go through.

Palm Bay Florida Mayor, William Capote tested out some of the training equipment during the half day demonstration downtown. It’s called the Fire Ground Survival program.

“This is not easy and you have to be physically fit and mentally tough,” Capote said.

He had to climb through a home rescue scenario, in the dark and breathing through a mask.
