For the last scheduled Training Night of 2013, Deputy Fire Marshall Scott Bullock presented the Fire Marshal's Arson Awareness class. With 21 members in attendance, members refreshed their minds on things to report and what they look for, evidence preservation, burn patterns, and gave the members a chance to test their eyes finding evidence. While this may not be your typical hands-on, in your face, fire evolution training, there is still very important information that is useful to all of us. Thank you to Scott Bullock
