Firefighters train for spring season
Spring has brought warmer weather and many people are starting the process of spring-cleaning, which for some who live in the rural parts of Sanders County, includes the burning of their brush piles, old leaves, and other things. If the timing of that burning is not correct, a fire can easily and quickly get out of hand. That is why the Plains-Paradise Rural Fire conducts regular trainings to sharpen their skills and make sure the equipment is working properly.
