Well kicking off 2015 things have slowed a bit but Firefighters
responded on two working structure fires and as we have : seen in the
past a steady report of cooking fires. Treacherous weather has kept

entrapment.

commercial businesses and plan for events by understanding what
loads are present in buildings as well as entry and access
routes throughout the commercial buildings. This activity helps
Lincoln Fire Department in its efforts to give back to the
community in providing fire safety tips, and code compliance.
Training in January includes annual respiratory protection fit
testing, hazardous materials refresher, annual records review
for staff, SCBA refresher and consumption course training.
