PARIS - New fire recruits will get an excellent opportunity to practice a number of skills.
On Saturday August 6th, a controlled burn is taking place at 982 Rest Acres Road, where 31 new recruits will be completing a critical training exercise. Fire Safety Officers, as well as a number of seasoned firefighters, will be supervising the burn to ensure everyone's safety.
