Then spent three hours Tuesday and three hours Thursday night getting their annular Hazmat Operation refresher. We spent the two-evening learning how to deal with a hazmat incident on a first-responder level. Understanding air monitoring. Getting a brief idea of various levels of PPE used in a hazmat incident. And just a basic understanding of how the safely handle a hazmat incident. About ten members attended the Class. The Class was held online.

Daugherty Township Volunteer Fire Department held their first annual Corn Hole Tournament. This was a double Elimination style tournament with 15 teams signing up. During the tournament there was food and beverage available. We raffled off a Penguin themed corn hole set and had a 50/50 drawing with the winner receiving $85.00. The winners of the tournament came from the loser’s bracket with them winning two games in a row. The first-place team was “Beer Money” and second place was “FTF”. The winners received $90.00 and the second-place team received $60.00.
This is the time of year for brush fires
Unlike many natural disasters, most wildfires are caused by people—and can be prevented by people, too. Meteorologists are not yet able to forecast wildfire outbreaks, so people in fire-prone areas should plan ahead and prepare to evacuate with little notice. Here are some tips on how to prevent wildfires and what to do if you're caught in the middle of one.
