Fire Department Training Saves Lives
November 11, 2026
The Roxton Volunteer Fire Department hosted a hands-on training session on Saturday, October 17, with volunteer firefighters from Roxton VFD, Reno VFD, Brookston VFD, Tigertown VFD, Faught VFD, Blossom and Biardstown VFD.
Approximately 13 dedicated volunteers sharpened essential skills, including: Forcible Entry — Safely accessing buildings during emergency situations. Search and Rescue — Practicing techniques to locate and rescue people trapped inside a burning structure.
A special thank-you to Brent Cooper, David Niblett, and Garreth Rosson for leading the training and sharing their expertise!
We’re grateful to Roxton VFD for hosting and bringing neighboring departments together. Joint training strengthens teamwork, builds confidence, and helps firefighters protect their communities while keeping one another safe. These men and women volunteer their time to train so they can be ready when their communities need them most. Neighbors helping neighbors.
Departments training together. Communities staying safer!
