Public Service Message - Fire Department Training Sessions

*PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE*

On Tuesday evening May 21st and May 28th, from 6pm-10pm the Fairfax Fire Department will be conducting Search and Rescue training at the former Food Venture Building at the bottom of Mail Hill. The department will be utilizing environmentally friendly fog machine solution to make the training evolutions as real as possible. This fog has the appearance of smoke and will be visible from the street during the training as heavy volumes will be used. Please do not be alarmed as this is a controlled training session with NO live fire being used. The fire department will ventilate the building using high pressure fans once training is complete to ensure that this smoke like fog is flushed from the building and not visable once we depart the grounds.

The department will also be making simulated announcements over the the Town of Fairfax radio frequency such as Mayday Calls, and fire operations terminology. These messages will be for training purposes only once again and the department will be sure to preface the evenings training and occasionally during the event to ensure that the public is aware.

We would like to thank Gabe Handy for allowing the department to utilize this structure for these critical skill building exercises.

Thank You,

Justin Hayes, CFI
Fire Chief
Fairfax Fire Dept.
