Fire FIghters Representing 11 Departments Train at Building to be Demolished at Lindsey Wilson College

Firefighters Participate In Training

The availability of a building for Firefighters to Train is a rare gift.
To have 16 doors to practice forcible entry, a wall to collapse for trapped victims, and a two story building to use a ladder truck to ascend and cut ventilation holes in a roof is a tremendous opportunity.

Lindsey Wilson is a 4 year College committed to the continuing education of anyone who wishes to advance their knowledge and become a better person. That desire to help was extended to the firefighters that were able to use the building on campus to enhance their skills.

Pyles Excavating also allowed the firefighters to be able to train in a building for physical hands on exercises to be a full day of an outside classroom.

The Columbia-Adair County Fire Department acted as host and State Fire\Rescue Training Area 14 provided the Instructors. The mission to ensure that quality training was conducted and to organize the outside evolutions. 37 firefighters representing 11 different fire departments came to Columbia to spend 8 hours of their day to be able to enhance various skills and become a better firefighter.

A special thanks from the Columbia-Adair County Fire Department to The Breeding Area Volunteer Fire Department for the use of a pumper and tanker to assist in the day. Wayne Ray and IGA provided lunch for all the firefighters and instructors to keep everyone from having to leave the site. Also thanks to Adair Search and Rescue for the use of their new truck which has a supply of breathing air to fill the self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in which firefighters wore on their back in the smoke filled room. Other fire departments from surrounding counties were Edmonton Metcalfe County, Campbellsville-Taylor County, Burkesville, Albany, Temple Hill in Barren County, Glasgow City, Pine Knot in McCreary County, and Central Hardin Fire District in Hardin County. The day was a complete success and was a very worth while event.
