Firefighter training taking place in St.Marys

Don’t be surprised if you see firefighters in action in St.Marys.

The St.Marys Fire Department and Zorra Fire Department-Uniondale Station are taking part in training Wednesday night.

It will be happening from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. along Queen Street and Road 120 and will involve pumper and tanker training.

“The backbone of any fire department is training.” St. Marys Fire Chief Richard “Andy” Anderson says. “Our service area covers some remote locations where fire hydrants are not always readily available. Having our team continuously trained to fight fires in these scenarios can make a big difference in the level of devastation a fire may cause.”
