WHEATLAND – While some firefighters are fighting the fire currently raging in Carbon and Albany counties, others attended the fall training session at the Wheatland Fire Zone Training Grounds over the weekend.
Firefighters both volunteer and paid, women and men, met with one goal – to further train their current skills and tackle new challenges and tests. There were several sessions going on at once at the training grounds. There was a special contraption to work on opening jammed doors, a faux roof to practice putting vent hole in with a chain saw, a burn building where fires were lit and fighters learned to vent smoke, a group working on dragging injured persons away from danger and another group working on opening vehicles carefully so as to extricate car crash victims taught by Wheatland’s Fire Chief Bob Glasson.
