In weeks past we had a handful of firemen complete EVOC(Emergency Vehicle Operator Course) training. EVOC training is the practical training of operating our vehicles to respond to calls in a safe manner. Firemen learned great skills during this training. Thank you firemen for the training commitment!!

Thinking of burning? Please checkout the following link to check the fire danger
conditions map!

If Miner County is classified as Very High or Extreme danger, we are in a burn ban.

There will be a ban on open burning that will be enforced immediately and autonomously when the National Weather Service has declared a Red Flag Warning in Miner County or when the Grassland Fire Danger Rating in Miner County reaches Very High or Extreme.

Last night our firemen did some search and recuse training while wearing their SCBA(Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) while in a smoke room. Training like this gives our guys an opportunity to work together and prepare!
