Statesville Fire Department to hold Live Burn Exercise

 “This type of training is invaluable to the continued mission of the Fire Department in maintaining proficiency in the mitigation of structure fires. This type of training is essential to ensuring that new and veteran firefighters are prepared to accomplish this mission. An acquired structure burn is a unique opportunity for firefighters to learn new skills, as well as, to hone previously acquired abilities. This is practical training aimed at helping Statesville firefighters stay safe while more effectively protecting lives and property.” said Assistant Chief Kyle Bell.
