FARGO — Firefighters are planning to conduct a one-day fire ground operations orientation for civilians, elected officials and media representatives on May 6.
From 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Fargo Firefighters IAFF Local 642 and Fargo Fire Department will hold the operation at the Fargo Fire Training Center/Fire Stations No. 4, 2701 1st Ave. N.
The operation will include suiting up in firefighter protective clothing, donning self-contained breathing apparatus and going inside a real fire to experience firsthand the environment that firefighters work in, according to a press release from Fargo Firefighters IAFF Local 642.
