Over the weekend, a group of 22 firefighters successfully completed their live fire training at the newly established Jason Dickey Memorial Training Center. This state-of-the-art facility was made possible through generous donations from various community organizations, successful fundraisers, and the dedicated efforts of individuals across the county. The North Alabama Trail Riders Association also played a significant role in its establishment, alongside state funding secured by Representative Clay Doggett.
The ability to conduct such training sessions at this facility marks a significant milestone and a valuable resource not only for Lawrence County but also for neighboring counties. The training on Saturday was conducted by instructors from Lawrence County Fire and Rescue, Lawrenceburg Fire, Maury County Fire, and Columbia Fire departments. Additionally, Box 50 was on-site to provide essential rehabilitation services to all participants.
The collaborative efforts that went into creating and operating the Jason Dickey Memorial Training Center highlight the importance of community support and dedication to enhancing the skills and preparedness of local firefighters.
