Gunter Volunteer Fire Rescue reports 23 calls and wins $10,000 training grant
Summary
Gunter Volunteer Fire Rescue reported 23 calls this month (an unusually low number), a near 50/50 split between fire and EMS calls, personnel training graduates, and receipt of a $10,000 grant to buy training props.
Catherine, representing Gunter Volunteer Fire Rescue, presented the monthly activity report, saying the department responded to 23 calls this month — a lower-than-usual total — and that call types were about evenly split between fire and EMS, compared with a historic 70/30 mix. "It highlights 23 calls this month, which is a unusually lower number for us," she said.
Catherine also said personnel have completed training and that the department obtained a $10,000 grant intended to purchase training props to improve on-site training scenarios. She explained one of the planned props is a "Denver training prop window," a specific-size opening built to a recognized specification for firefighter training exercises.
