Wildland Refresher Course

Our Firefighters participated in a Wildland Refresher Course this week. Lt Bailey gives the group a scenario and each team member has the opportunity to lead the group through the possible situation. The leaders are to answer questions, give direction, give encouragement, give tips and point out safety concerns. Afterwards they talk over how it went just like they might in a real wildland fire. All part of the regular training at LFD. You might notice the gear is a little different. For Wildland fires, firefighters wear this and not their typical bunker gear.
