Engine & Truck Company Operations Class CANCELLED

without comments

 It is with regret that I must inform all of you that the Spring Training Weekend, Engine & Truck Company Operations, has to be cancelled at this time.  There was an issue with asbestos being found in numerous buildings at the training complex.  Although the buildings and area that we were going to use were not effected by this directly, the facility manager has decided to cancel all events at the site until further notice.  A company has been called in to inspect the site and give a final report to the facility manager, our chapter, and the area departments who train there.  Any and all registration fees that have already been payed to our chapter via PayPal will be reimbursed within the next 72 hours.  Please keep an eye on your emails/accounts that you used to make the PayPal payments and please contact me as soon as your money has been returned.  Again, I would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and I hope all of you will consider training with us in the future.  We will be trying to acquire an alternate training site in the near future, and hold this class soon.  Please continue to check our website for events and upcoming training classes.  Please feel free to post below, or contact me via email.  Thanks and stay safe.

-Keith Bresnahan, Chapter President

It’s that time again…to hold another great weekend training class…on Saturday and Sunday, April 12th and 13th we will be hosting an Engine & Truck Company Operations Class at our usual training site on the grounds of the old Lorton prison complex…for those who attended our RIT weekend last October know how good the training is going to be…the cost for Fools members is $20 for either day (either class) and $40 for the weekend…if you can only make one of the days, you can choose which class (Engine or Truck Ops) you would like to attend…go to the site and register now!  Tony Carroll has challenged all of our members:  If you cannot (or for some odd reason don’t want to) attend the training weekend, donate the amount of the class to the DC burn foundation…any questions about the classes, please contact Keith…SEE YOU ALL THERE!!!!
