On 2/3/24 our department was able to send Tristan Fitch and Teddy Cline to a rare training. Cannelburg Fire Department graciously invited the fire departments of Daviess County to participate in their live house fire training on E 400 N. We want to thank all parties involved in providing this great, once in a career(for a lot of firefighters), training. We were able to do some great hands-on scenarios that involved live fire, some basic fire investigation, and then watching fire progression from beginning to end. As most don't realize, it takes volunteers removing all the shingles, siding, insulation, etc., and testing by the EPA, IDEM, and acquisition of permits, to put this type of training on. 7 departments were involved, including one from Vanderburgh County IN. There are many pictures available by going to the Southeast Daviess Fire District page. A Firefighter's wife took 270+ high-quality photos, capturing invaluable moments of Veale Township Fire District's firefighters in action.
If you would like to join our department and partake in trainings like these and help out your community when needed, please reach out to us or any of our members.
