Candy Hand-Out

October 31 2017

The Fort Blackmore Fire Department handed out 41 bags of candy. Not as big a haul as in the previous years.  The rest of the candy and probably more candy will be handed out at the Dungannon Christmas Parade. Standby for the date of that parade.

An Evening of Hot

Hot House Day -- 14 October 2017


Fort Blackmore and Dungannon Fire Departments participated in a training on Saturday at the Clinchport Hot House.  New members from both fire departments were introduced to using SCBA in a hazardous environment.  For five hours, the two departments worked in two different sticks on a walkthrough, search techniques, fire behavior, and knockdown.  FBVFD's tanker provided water and worked all evening as the primary engine.  We hope to do it again next year before UnklJim gives out... but, thanks to Jason Perry's efforts as the nr. two stick leader, everyone came out alive and well.  Hope to do it again next year.
