Wildland Dozer Academy strengthens firefighter skills.
Staff Report / Modestolocal.org
The Modesto Fire Department, alongside CalFire and the Stanislaus County Fire Warden's Office, organized the Wildland Dozer Academy at Turlock Lake State Recreational Area in June. Firefighters from various departments such as Modesto Fire, CalFire, USFS, and others participated in this three-day training. The academy aimed to enhance skills and introduce new strategies to combat wildfires in California. This training not only benefits Modesto Fire personnel but also aids the broader firefighting community across the state in tackling devastating wildfires and implementing fuel reduction programs like the one at Tuolumne River Regional Park.
