Fire/Rescue to conduct live training

By Christine Anne Piesyk | May 18, 2008 |

Monday, May 19, 2008, starting at 9:30 AM, Clarksville Fire Rescue will conduct a Live Fire Training Session at 544 Lafayette Road, according to Deputy Chief John Stanley of the Clarksville Fire Department.

A request from Mark McCutchen, owner of the property was made to Fire Chief Mike Roberts concerning CFR using this structure for Fire Training and the timely removal of this property. After site inspection by Clarksville Fire Rescue & State of Tennessee it was cleared for a live burn.

CFR is pleased to be provided with this opportunity, thereby offering our new recruits and veteran firefighters training under Live Fire conditions in water supply, pump operations, ventilation and incident command.

This information is made since the public will notice activity involving Fire, Police and other agencies in this area.

About Christine Anne Piesyk

With 40 years behind me (Huh? What? How did that happen?) as a journalist, feature writer, investigative reporter, editor, and film/theater/arts critic, I brought my liberal New England activism to Tennessee several years ago. having completed a midlife undergraduate degree in community organizing and women's studies, and an MA in Interdisciplinary Arts. I am currently an MFA student at Goddard College. I served on Future Search Commissions for two colleges and an issue-specific commission for the City of Northampton, MA, and did minor undergraduate work in studies in urban planning and community development. I am a community volunteer and a member of FreeThinkers for Peace and Civil Liberties. I am a certified storm spotter. In my spare time (define spare time please?) I am a voracious reader, obsessive movie buff, classical music junkie; I also and design and make sci-fi/fantasy and renaissance costumes. I have an unquenchable interest in just about everything. I see life as an ongoing opportunity for learning and adventure, with the best things still to come.
