Tuesday Night Training: Tonight, members of Company 2 trained on cutting pieces of rebar with different types of tools. We used our K12 gas-powered saw, Milwaukee-powered M18 saw, bandsaw, Sawzall, and grinder. All these tools play a different role in cutting metal. Interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter and making a difference? Stop down any Tuesday night 7pm.
