Firefighter I
The first two days of Firefighter I at GCVFD in Gate City, VA, went well. We had good weather to stay inside. We covered Introduction, Communication, Public Education, and Ventilation. We have three weeks off. We'll start back with PPE and SCBA. We'll have a short time in the classroom and then the fun starts. Be sure to bring your Personal Protective Equipment {helmet, eyewear, hood, jacket, trousers, boots, gloves} and an SCBA including PASS device. See you in February.

All Departments: consider this...
The Scott Co Horse Association would like us to think about hosting a horse show at the new ring in Dugannon. We can either host the show or host the concessions. If we host the show, we provide the manpower to run the gates, security, parking, etc. If we host the concessions, we'd be in charge of providing manpower, and possibly preparation. So, talk it up and see what you'd like to do. It's a money maker, and it's also great PR for the Association.
Think on it.
