Fire/Rescue Communications To Launch New Division: Fire/Rescue Training Resources of Northeastern Minnesota To Offer Training Videos

Virginia - Fire/Rescue Communications of Northeastern Minnesota is proud to announce that it will start a new division aimed at serving some of the training needs of area fire and rescue departments. Over the last 10 years, Fire Wire Editor Peter Makowski has videotaped a number of fires and rescues in the Arrowhead Region. As one can imagine, this collection has become quite large and now Pete wants to share these videos with the region's public safety organizations. Some of these videos are excellent training aids and can be used to supplement any organization's training program. The tapes have been edited for length and will be available at a nominal charge to any public safety organization. A complete listing will soon be available on this Web Site. The new division will be known as: Fire/Rescue Training Resources Of Northeastern Minnesota.

In addition to providing videos of actual fires, Fire/Rescue Training Resources also plans to develop several videotape, slide/tape, and computer generated training programs for area fire, EMS, and rescue organizations. "We'll be contacting area fire departments and public safety groups to see if they are interested in participating in these projects," said Makowski. "We will tap the resources and skills of these departments as we feel they have a lot to offer in the way of training."
