Last week, Cullman Fire Rescue hosted a 40 hour Apparatus Operator - Pumper course through the Alabama Fire College. We certified 13 of our new members in fire pump operations. Our firefighters and paramedics continue to learn and train so we can serve those in our community at the highest level possible.

Please join us on June 24th in Cullman for a Mid-rise Operation lecture given by Clyde Gordon and Steve Robertson. This is open to all at no cost. After the presentations, plan to stay for the social at the same location.

Members of Cullman Fire Rescue participated in department Hazmat training across all three shifts this week. Topics covered Decontamination Procedures and Air Monitoring.

We want to thank Girl Scout Troop 20617 for their generous donation of some of the best cookies around. Thank you so much.

Congratulations to Cullman Fire Rescue’s
