Monday night we had our monthly training, and we’re proud to have hosted local agencies including Waumandee Montana Lincoln Fire Department, Alma Fire Department, and Buffalo County Wisconsin Sheriff's Office. Thank you to Riverland Technical College and Scott Holst for the presentation and doll house burn. Trainings like these are great for small communities.

Please don’t do any burning, the fire danger is very high.
