A $5,000 grant funded live-fire training Saturday for 21 area volunteer firemen seeking Firefighter I and II certification through the University of Missouri Extension’s Fire and Rescue Training Institute (FRTI). Instructors repeatedly cautioned the volunteers to avoid going home with severe burns as all their exercises that day would involve live fire. “Keep all your skin covered,” the volunteers were told indoors at Owensville Middle School after being tested on gearing up in under two minutes. Firemen take a walk through of the FRTI live-burn trailer before taking turns in hose teams of three persons ascending the stairs and working through the upper and lower levels of the two-story trailer. Propane burners, ignited by instructors, had to be extinguished as they moved through the search and rescue scenario.
