Fire Chief JD Mosby is excited about the opportunities that will be offered to the fire fighters. “You can’t dupli cate a fire in the classroom. This gives our department the opportunity to take what you learn in the classroom and use it on a live fire under a controlled environment.” The chief further stated, “This is a chance to provide high quality, better trained firefighters.” The goal of these training aids is to provide a safe train ing environment, but also a more realistic training event that could one day save a firefighter’s life. Training with live fire is always risky, but there is no other way to provide the training these firefighters need. All of the props have been donated to the department from community partners and the work is being done by the firefighters. The By ron firefighters are proud of their new training ground and are looking forward to the training they will re ceive. The Byron Fire Depart ment is currently recruiting new firefighters to join the ranks of the department. If you are interested in becom ing a firefighter, please con tact them at 478-956-3611.
