Check this area frequently for news in the department.We worked with the multi jurisdictional agencies involved in the "Prom-Date" mock disaster (see full article under training). It is really good for the different emergency response teams to be able to work together in a controlled environment.
There was an extinguisher training class held last month. The eighty or so people that attended were excited about getting this training and everyone received a certificate. Attendees ranged from county employees to homeowners. Some needed initial training and some were there to get a refresher course. Everyone enjoyed putting out the fire when it was their turn!
We are working on several projects and will report them here as the details are ironed out.One of these will be the location for the fire training course.This will be a semi-permanent location where the firefighters will be able to practice putting out actual fires and developing team skills that may save a life in an actual real-life fire.We have purchased trailers and demo equipment for this purpose.We'll keep you posted.
