Another week, another opportunity for your West Fargo Rural Firefighters to get better!

We'd like to thank Kensok's Hardwood Floors for the use of an acquired structure to practice our search and rescue skills.

Search is a vital task on the fireground that requires excellent communication and coordination. So its extremely valuable anytime we can challenge our firefighters with a new building layout!
