Training Structure Dedication and Ribbon Cutting

On May 11th, we held a dedication and ribbon cutting event for our new Battalion Chief Charles "Scott" Fraser Memorial Training Structure. The structure is built behind Station 14 at 1699 County Road in Minden. It was a dream of Scott's to have this training structure to enhance our firefighting capabilities and provide for firefighter safety. Here are a few pictures from that event.
