Firefighter Training At Academy

The firetrucks at Academy School Thursday evening and night were for training, says Liz Neighbors, who stopped by to check it out. 

She sent us these pictures.

Thanks Liz, and to my neighbor who stopped by to tell me that something was going on at Academy as well!

And thanks to our volunteer firefighters who spend their free time in training so that they can be there for us during emergencies.
