FORESTRY TRAINING

It is that time of year again. To start thinking about yearly training for the upcoming fire season. John Dodge has pulled together some winter dates for the RT-130 and the S-110 Rookie classes. (YES there will be dates with the PACK TEST dates in the SPRING)

The Annual RT-130 refresher needs to be taken by all returning crew members.

If you took the rookie class last season you will not need to take that again this season you will need to take the RT-130. If you are new to the program and missed the S-110 last season than you will need to take the rookie class this season and the RT-130.

All classes will be at the Bear Brook Warehouse.

Saturday, March 7 – RT-130 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Saturday, March 14 – RT-130 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Saturday, March 21 – S-110, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. –ROOKIE CLASS

All classes limited to 24 personnel, first come/first serve by RSVP.

Students for RT-130 sessions should bring a lunch and IRPG.

CARBON MONOXIDE AND CLOGGED VENTS

In the last 24 hours, the dispatch center has dispatched fire departments to 5 carbon monoxide calls. Three of these calls resulted in high readings of carbon monoxide inside the buildings. One of these calls was the result of a vent clogged with snow for a water heater. We hate to sound like a broken record, but please check your vents and make sure they are clear of snow and ice. Carbon monoxide is odorless and in severe high readings it could kill you. We also urge everyone to have a carbon monoxide detector on each level of your home.
