Calhoun County firefighters are looking to establish a firefighter training association to help standardize fire response protocols across the county.
âOne of the big things is that youâve got every department now doing kind of their own training. There is not a whole lot of uniformity within Calhoun County. It definitely helps if everybody is on the same page with training,â Sandy Run Fire District Assistant Fire Chief Christian Wolfe said Monday.
âWe all train together because we all have to work together,â Wolfe said. âThat kind of makes everything go a little smoother on a fire scene.â
Wolfe spoke on the topic at a recent Calhoun County Council meeting. He said the first step is to create a governing body and rules and regulations the body will follow.
Organizers hope to create a commission independent of county council. Even so, organizers hope council will appoint members to the commission similar to what is done with the Rural Fire District and Sandy Run Fire District.
