On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, October 24, 25 and 26 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., city of Hays firefighters will be practicing the procedures to attack a large fire. This training will be conducted at Aubel-Bickle Park on Sherman Avenue between 27th Street Terrace and 29th Street.
Traffic will be restricted in this area.
The public is invited to observe.
This training tests the ability of the five on-duty firefighters to quickly place two large fire streams at work to control a building fire or keep such a fire from spreading to other buildings.
The city of Hays Fire Department policy is to conserve water as practical while maintaining the capabilities to respond to emergencies. By conducting this training in the park, the water is also being used to help maintain the grass and other landscaping.
