Cloverdale Fire Fighters complete training

Three volunteer firefighters of the Cloverdale Rural Fire Protection District completed separate fire training courses at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland in early March, according to Fire Chief Chuck Cable.

Cory Stengel completed a class on advanced safety operations and management, Deanne Dement attended a course on community education leadership and Matt Cyrus completed a course on fire cause determination.

"We had other individuals attend the National Fire Academy in the past, but this is the first time that we have had three firefighters from the district attend at the same time," Chief Cable said.

The U.S. Fire Administration manages the National Fire Academy and offers specialized courses for fire and emergency services professionals. Courses are offered both at the Maryland facility and throughout the nation in cooperation with state and local agencies and educational institutions.
