Members from Fire Academy Class 2012-1 could be seen yesterday in wildland fire gear working in the Five-Mile area near Austin Road completing their hands-on-training requirements for S130/S190. This curriculum is a Federal Standard and a ...basic foundation for wildland firefighting which allows the recruits in the Academy to respond and operate safety in the wildland urban interface when they graduate. As a value-added aspect to this training, the fuel cleanup benefitted the Waste Water Treatment Department, added a layer of safety by reducing wildland urban interface fuels for the residents of 5-Mile as well as using the fallen wood for heat by donating it to SNAP.
