Members of Santa Paula Fire Dept. and other area Fire Departments will be conducting a state certified fire control course. Firefighter will receive training in how to work safely in a burning building and practice life saving rescue skills.The training site of the live burn will be 123 S. 10th Street and is planned for December 17th.

This is a rare opportunity for our Firefighters to obtain this type of training and we ask for your support and patience during this valuable exercise.In the days leading up to this event you can tune to Santa Paula’s AM Radio Emergency Broadcast System at frequency AM 1610 for more information.
