  Live Burn 2007

Greendale Fire & Rescue will be hosting a multi-burn live training exercise August 4 2007. The planned evolution will be encircled with Fire Behavior, long lay, and Rural Fire tactics. The burn site is approximately 30 acres and has a possible 10 buildings to be involved. All local departments have been invited. The Burn begins at 0900 and should be wrapping up at 1200 with plenty of time for hands on and direct instruction to all fire fighters. Learning objectives are simple…FIRE and Supply. Safety is a major concern all around the fire service, NFPA 1403 is the rule of the day. A special task force burn team has been invited and will hold the candle. Special thanks to the property owners once again for allowing the GFD this valuable tool to help keep it on top of the game. LT Putnam
