Williamsville Fire Protection District Membership

08/15/2023

This past weekend our firefighters joined several other central Illinois agencies to wrap up their training in Buffalo. They combined all of their new knowledge of search & rescue, ventilation, hose line advancement, fire behavior and more and put it all to use in a live burn.

Of course we want to thank Buffalo Illinois Fire Protection District for the invitation, and all of the other departments that joined to make it such a valuable and exciting day.

We also extend a big thanks to the Theobald family for their donation of the house to Buffalo that we have been using for training, and all of their support on the day of our big training.
