MEDIA INVITATION – BURN TO LEARN
Please join us on Friday May 20th at 9am where Redmond Fire & Rescue will be conducting a “Burn to Learn” live fire training exercise in a house at 3627 NW 10th Street in Redmond.
These types of trainings provide extremely valuable scenarios for firefighters in a controlled environment. Several fires are set, one at a time, for firefighters to enter and practice search and rescue, hose handling, fire behavior, ventilation and various other critical fireground skills.
Roadways in the area will be closed. NW 10th St and NW Pershall Way will be closed. Please use an alternate route.
The training exercise is planned to begin at 9am and concluded at approximately 3pm.
Smoke and flames maybe visible during this training exercise.
Media is welcome to attend. For questions regarding the burn, please contact Training Captain Bill Welch at 541-504-5036.
This building was donated by the landowner for this exercise.
