🚒 Rush City Fire Department Training Update 🚒
Last night during our scheduled training night, the Rush City Fire Department conducted a controlled grass fire training exercise using our new J5 tracked unit we obtained from the DNR, along with our other tracked vehicle grass fire equipment.
This training was a huge success and gave our firefighters valuable hands-on experience operating new equipment in real-world conditions. Trainings like this are critical to ensuring we are fully prepared to respond quickly and effectively during actual grass, brush, and wildland fires—especially as we head into higher fire-risk seasons.
We understand there was visible smoke in the area, largely due to the brush involved in the training. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding while we work to keep our team trained and ready.
Our goal is always the same: protecting lives, property, and our community as safely and efficiently as possible.
Thank you for your continued support.
