Three members of the DeKalb County Fire Department graduated from the Tennessee Fire Service and Codes Enforcement Training Academy’s Live Burn Firefighter I class that was held Saturday and Sunday, September 11 and 12.
Captain Brian Williams said Daniel Bradam of the Austin Bottom Station, Frank Rodegeb of the Temperance Hall Station, and Neil Vogeler of the Liberty Station participated in
this 16-hour course which requires students to demonstrate skills needed to extinguish a passenger vehicle fire attack, exterior Class A fire attack, interior structure fire attack, commercial buildings and ground cover fire attack.
“We are extremely proud of these recent graduates. Today, our department stands better prepared to respond to emergencies because of the high standards for training we set for our firefighters,” said Captain Williams
