Rural Metro Hosting Fire Training Exercise Today at Donated Home in Murphy
Rural Metro Fire Department is hosting a "live" fire training exercise today at a donated house in Murphy.
Numerous fires will be lit on the structure at 1500 Murphy Creek Road and teams of firefighters will rotate in to extinguish the flames.
Students include some of the newest firefighters across the region who recently graduated from the local Firefighter Academy. The donated house will be left to burn completely after the rotations have ended.
A special American flag retirement ceremony will also be conducted during the final burn. Rural Metro has collected nearly 100 old flags from the community to be officially retired.
Murphy area residents will likely see the fire or smoke from this training event.
Please watch for "Fire Training Ahead" signs on Murphy Creek Road.
