Between rashes of fires, missing hikers, automobile accidents and
soon-to-be floods, the areas fire and rescue personnel actually
spend much of their time in the classroom. OK, so their classroom
may be in burn towers, frozen lakes and dry forests, but hey ..
.its all in a days work. To make matters more interesting, the
majority of area firefighters do not get paid. They are strictly
volunteer. And how do half a dozen fire and rescue units work
together so well? Whether its at a burn tower in Farmington or in
the icy waters of Lemon Reservoir, they also train together.
