Sisters-Camp Sherman RFPD EMT firefighters Pat Burke and Damon Frutos just returned from an exchange program with Hampshire County Fire and Rescue in southern England. Hampshire County is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. This urban landscape and area were new for Burke and Frutos because they were both trained and work in rural environments. Burke, engineer medic with SCSRFPD, went on the exchange for the experience and to learn more about rescue and firefighting. The exchange program started in 2015 as a way to share cross-organizational knowledge. The exchange with the two departments started with a conversation between the Hampshire Fire Chief and Station Manager David Hodge and Sisters Fire Chief Roger Johnson at a conference in Portland five years ago.
