Future members of our dive team used Dawson Pool this week for basic dive training as well as our other crews used the pool for water rescue training.

Participated in a disaster drill involving an underground transmission pipeline that runs throughout our county. This drill was coordinated by the Boyd County Local Emergency Planning Commission in conjunction with Cannonsburg FD.

This week, crews have been in Central Park walking around in groups with compasses near the new shelter houses. Crews were working with Mike Crawford who is an expert in the area land tracking and orientation with compasses. Our crews are completing this training to allow us to be able to search for people in the rural parts of our city as well as surrounding areas. This training will also be very useful should a natural disaster occur, and we are working in an area that has been devastated and landmarks are gone. Our crews learned many basic skills that could help them in future incidents and furthering their training.
