Sisters foresters offer fire training

Sisters area residents who have fire fighting apparatus or want to work during emergency fire situations can attend a wildland fire training class sponsored by the Oregon Department of Forestry.

The class includes basic fire behavior and safety. This training, held at the Sisters-Camp Sherman Rural Fire Protection District firehall, is a requirement of OR-OSHA and those without it will not be allowed to work on any state-directed fires.

The class will begin at 7 a.m. on Monday, April 20, and last two to three hours. Those attending are encouraged to bring a driver's license and a Social Security card for documentation. For further information, call 549-2731.
