Multiple area fire departments participate in an exterior firefighter training class presented by the Kansas Fire and Rescue Training Institute.
The class was hosted by the Independence Fire Department on the Independence Community College West campus. Joining IFD were firefighters from the Neodesha Fire Department, Caney Fire Department, Montgomery County Rural Fire and St. Paul-Mission Township.
The main focus of the training was the evolution of fire hose techniques involving props that simulated fires involving propane tanks, vehicle fires and a propane cylinder.
