Firefighters from West Liberty, White Oak and Blackwater fire departments participated in UTV training last night. These machines were purchased by each department from Coal Severance Funds given to them by the Morgan County Fiscal Court. The UTV’s will be utilized for rough terrain operations such as forest/brush fires, rough terrain rescue and for special events for risk management purposes. Each firefighter was scored and passed on each machine before being able to operate per department policies. These machines are another tool for us to do our jobs quickly and safely, and as always we appreciate our community support.
