F120 Building Construction for the Fire Service.
We toured Farbest Foods last week. Thanks for the hospitality.

We try to do as much hands-on training as possible. When actual live fire is not practical, we use technology to simulate. This electronic system simulates a small fuel fire using a simulated ABC extinguisher. This is a good way to practice technique without any danger.

Division Chief Douglas Randell of Plainfield Fire Territory visited us this week to discuss inclusion, diversity and understanding those we serve. It’s our duty to help everyone and not judge anyone. DC Randell retired from the St.Louis FD and has 30 years of experience in EMS.
