The second annual Rappahannock County Fire School began last weekend and will continue this Saturday and Sunday at Amissville. The course consists of thirty hours of instruction which affords all firemen in the county an opportunity to increase their knowledge and skill of firefighting. It provides the challenge to grow in fire service as new methods and techniques are developed in the ever changing times. Guest speaker on the opening day of the school was Elliot Jayne, Deputy Chief of the Alexandria City Fire Department. In the afternoon a most important subject which all firemen confront at one time or another was the topic, “Power Problems", “Wiresand Fires” with a spokesman from the Potomac Edison Power Company in charge. This was followed by a film “You Bet Your Life," after which the group assembled into individual training sessions. Among topics covered at these sessions and the forthcoming sessions are breathing apparatus, structural fires, flammable liquid fires, pumpa ladders, forcible entry and small tools and ropes and knots. Instruction in and practical application of these subjects are applied.
A banquet for the fire school members and instructors will be held at Amissville fire hall on Friday evening, October 14 at 7 p. m. at which time certificates will be given those completing the course and meeting requirements.
