RACESBUL.203 DATE: Jan. 6, 1992
SUBJECT: MIS: Fire training
Nine members of the City of Barstow (CA) RACES provided
communications support to augment fire department communications
during a fire control training class.
This function, which served as a drill for our organization,
was held in Barstow with several local and military fire
departments participating. Seven condemned houses were used for
fire control training and subsequently burned to the ground.
Through this drill our RACES group was provided with valuable
hands on, realistic training, the quality of which exceeded
anything we could have ever learned in a classroom setting.
The RACES provided support communications between the incident
commander, logistics, safety, operations, and each training site
during the exercise.
It isn't often that we have the opportunity to participate in
hands-on training, and we feel it gave us experience which will
enable us to be better prepared to serve and interact with
agencies requiring our resources should a large scale emergency
occur. -- Fred Williamson, KK6FL, Chief Radio Officer, City of
Barstow, California
