Training burns are invaluable access for internal department training. Training burns allow fire fighters to conduct life fire training within a controlled environment with instructors present. Acquired structures are provided by local residence when their building is no longer required.
Shumway Fire Protection members participated in live fire training involving liquified propane in conjunction with the Illinois Fire Service Institute and FS Farm Services.
