	Firefighters Christina Sanford and Jim Sherry attended the Flammable Liquids and Gas Firefighting (FLAG)class at the SC Fire Academy in Columbia, 21-March. The two local firefighters were part of a 45 member group taking the training class. This course provides students with the training and skills to meet NFPA 1001 standards for Firefighter II. The course covers basic theories, foam applications, valve manipulation and tactics associated with flammable liquid and gas fires. The course is conducted using several props at the Academy. Both students enjoyed the opportunity to attend the class and learned a great deal from the training.
