Buckland Fire ramps up training, lobbies SGI for more funding
Members of Buckland Fire and Rescue came together on Tuesday for further their training in dealing with emergency situations.
Fire Chief Jim Miller hopes to have more session like this one with the group in the future. This sort of training only used to run on a monthly basis, according to Captain George Shand.
“It wasn’t nearly frequent enough, so we’ve moved it to once a week,” said Shand. “It keeps the guys more engaged in a better frame of mind, and it keeps our techniques and habits good.”
“There’s a lot of equipment in this building and you don’t remember where that is by accident, you have to use it regularly and keep it fresh.”
