Bear River High School offers courswork in training guide dogs and last winter 2018 the cass visited Station 21 so the puppies could become familar with firetrucks and firefighters in their full structure fire turn-out gear. We love visitors and these dedicated students and their instructors for their service to those who need such well training service dogs.
Each year Cal FIRE conducts a couple of wildland urban interface (WUI) firefighting training exercises for local and regional firefighters. In 2018, these exercises were conducted in Alta Sierra and Lake Wildwood. It's a tremendous way for new and experienced firefighters to get some familiarization with our neighborhoods and with the suppression techniques needed to fight wildfires in our neighborhoods since so many of us live in the WUI.
Our firefighters joined in with the LOP Firewise Committee and provided some fire extinguisher use training and games for the kiddos.
The morning of September 11, 2018, our firefighters gathered to remember the lives lost and the brave first responders who selfishly came to aid everyone that terrible day.
