Today, our Fire II class finished up their Wildland practicals with a Prescribed/Controlled burn on private property. The students were challenged in interpreting weather forecasts, taking weather patterns, terrain, and existing structures into consideration while developing a plan, cutting fire lines, conducting burns and back burns, cuting and bucking timber, observing and communicating changes and mopping up at conclusion. The group did a great job, completed all tasks and left a happy land owner. Thank you to Lawrence Allison Fire Association, Chuck Billingsley, Keith Fisher , Thompson Farms, Mark Storck for all of your help

Today, our Fire I class finished up their Fire Extinguisher practicals to complete Chapter #7. They were challenged and checked off on all practicals pertaining to all types of Fire Extinguishers. A huge thank you to Ronnie Spurgeon, Jay Gatrell, Amie Calvert and Eastern Illinois University for facilitating the use of their Bullex Fire Extinguisher simulator. Year in and year out, they have been amazing to work with. Without the cooperation between our entities, the completion of this training would be very challenging. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
