The event includes fire and crime prevention education plus safety and equipment demonstrations, like a flashover fire, a taser presentation and CPR training.

This past weekend members of Telford Fire Company recently participated in a flashover simulation drill, giving our firefighters the opportunity to experience extreme fire conditions in a controlled training environment. Flashover is one of the most dangerous situations firefighters can encounter. This hands-on training allows members to observe fire behavior, recognize the warning signs of rapidly changing conditions, and practice techniques that can help keep crews safe while operating inside a structure fire. Training like this is invaluable. The more our firefighters learn and experience in a controlled setting, the better prepared they are when the tones drop and our community needs us.

Ellis County accepted a roughly $454,000 Patterson Family Foundation challenge grant and allocated a 10-acre parcel at 1515 West 55th for a proposed regional training facility featuring a live-fire Connex tower, flashover and LPG props, and classroom space; commissioners authorized moving forward and staff outlined a $820,000 equipment need and a $178,000 matching goal.

After construction updates showing live-fire and flashover props installed, the board authorized the county administrator to execute documents transferring the new Public Safety Training burn building to the Town of Yarmouth; the motion passed unanimously.
