The Roseburg Fire Department will be conducting a live fire training exercise at 223 Northeast Fulton Street on Sunday from approximately 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.
A city release said the exercise will be a joint agency training in conjunction with Central Douglas Fire & Rescue.
The training opportunity provides the ability to not only train together, but to also improve the effectiveness of interoperability between multiple agencies. The training will include multiple scenarios and evolutions focused on fire behavior and development with extinguishment.
Neighboring residents and property owners should be aware of:
*Smoke and flames – Throughout the training, visible smoke and flames will be seen coming from the structure.
*Noise – Expect some increase in noise levels due to fire apparatus, equipment and instructor communications.
*Air quality – Those with respiratory sensitivities, pets, or health concerns may wish to keep windows closed during the training period.
*Safety perimeter – For the safety of everyone, residents should not enter the training area or approach the scene during the exercise.
Firefighters may remain at the training location for an extended period after the training has concluded for site cleanup.
Anyone with questions or concerns regarding the fire training, should contact Administrative Battalion Chief Chris Galligan at 492-6770 or via email at: roseburgfire@roseburgor.gov.
