Wildland Refresher
A wildland refresher course for city fire fighters is an important training session for those communities who live in or near forested areas. In case of a wildland fire those fire companies who participate in activities of this type are better trained and more prepared for forest fires. This was the second refresher course for the Payson and surrounding communities to practice the skills needed in case of wildfire.
Examing a scenerio on a sand table are from left to right; Terry Johnson, Mike Davoren, Fred Schoeffler, and Bobbi Fuller. Sand tables help firefighters examine problem fire areas. By building a fire area on a sand table firefighters determine effective ways to fight a fire. This enables them to be safe, and take forceful action with the least amount of danger to men, machines and equipment.
