7/28/2017

On June 20th, Gladstone hosted a training on fire behavior and smoke reading. It was attended by Gladstone Fire, Lovingston Fire and Amherst Fire department members. It was educational for both new and experienced firefighters with great demonstrations and practical application discussions. Interagency training within the county in addition to training with departments from neighboring counties is very beneficial when working mutual aid calls.
