Our team has had a busy week of training.
Last weekend, we completed our quarterly rope rescue training at Camp Ripley with several of our public safety partners.
During the week, we had the privilege of working alongside some experts in wildfire tactics.
We rounded out the week on Saturday with a live burn of an acquired structure. These training burns provide our new and seasoned firefighters with real word scenario based training. Prior to the burn, there is a permit process through the DNR and MN Pollution Control Agency. The structure needs to be inspected and any asbestos and other hazardous items removed.
Thank you to all of our partner agencies that participated in the training burn. Camp Ripley Fire, Mayo Clinic Ambulance, Sartell Fire Department, Pierz Fire Department, Bowlus Fire Department, and Royalton Fire Department.
