This evening Bagdad Firefighters participated in the skills portion of Emegency Vehicle Drivers Training. Each participant was tested on three courses while driving three different types of apparatus. This training prepares the firefighter for responding and maneuvering safely and efficiently to all types of emergencies.

Thanks and Congratulations to Walters Buildings on a job well done!
