Saturday was our annual RT-130 Wildland Refresher. We train on Fire Shelters, line cutting, pump-and-roll, and hose lays. We threw in some pump tank training for the engineers.
Members of Pine Ridge Volunteer Fire Department and Huntington Lake Volunteer Fire Department joined us.
This is a required class that all fire departments train on every year in order to prepare themselves for wildland fire response.
A special thanks to Mountain Tripper Cafe & Tea House in Shaver for donating the much needed coffee to start our day. And a really big shout-out to Shaver neighbor Don Valenzuaela who made us all a huge lunch at his house. We really enjoyed it!
