This week, members from Carthage, Cassville, Stella, and Redings Mill attended the Driver Operator Core and Mobile Water classes hosted by Redings Mill Fire Protection District.
The RMFD Training Division would like to thank all the students and instructors who dedicated their time and effort to improve their skills. By investing in training, these firefighters are better prepared to respond to emergencies and ensure that apparatus and equipment are ready when the call comes.
Great job, everyone! Best of luck on your upcoming skills evaluations and written tests. Your commitment makes a difference for the communities you serve.
