Training for an away fire event

Club member Alan Swanson has offered to conduct another training session on the use of our fire fighting equipment. It's been about 10 years since our previous class and there are many new members and others attending our launches. We did a great job with the fire we had in Amesbury last year but we can use more trained people in the club.

The class will be held at 3 PM on 15 April In Atkinson, NH, if the weather cooperates. There will be some classroom time reviewing a Power Point presentation on the basics of fighting the types of fires we could face at our launches followed by field work that could include supressing an actual fire. Participants should wear denim jeans and hiking or work boots.

Please respond to this thread to let us get an accurate head count. Even if you feel you aren't physically up to the challenge of actually fighting the fire, there are benefits to having the knowledge of what to do in these situations. If you've had this training before, feel free to join us for a refresher. Alan has served as a volunteer fire fighter for brush fires and is affiliated with his local fire department.

I plan on attending.

I plan to attend for refreshing.

It would be great to have some younger members sign up for this.
