Fire Service news

Excerpts from kfor.com:

Moore (OK) firefighters train to battle not only dangerous fires, but hoarding conditions as well at a brand new training area that now gives them first-hand experience when evacuating hoarder homes, thanks to a local nonprofit.

Goodwill Central Oklahoma donated nearly $3,000 worth of salvaged goods to the Moore Fire Department.

The fire chief said his crews don’t go into hoarder homes often, but when they do, it brings additional challenges. It’s a potential life or death situation, in each case the struggle is to get through piles and piles of debris.

The new facility is filled with items that can no longer be sold in Goodwill stores, but can serve still another purpose.
