Beloit and Janesville fire departments soon could share personnel for training activities, with more coordination possible in the future, according to Beloit Fire Chief Daniel Pease.
Pease told the Beloit Police and Fire Commission on Monday that he plans to meet Janesville fire command staff to discuss sharing a training officer to coordinate trainings for both departments.
“We have a lot of exciting things that we are exploring and want to make happen,” Pease told commissioners.
The meeting is part of an ongoing series of conversations with Janesville Fire Chief Ernie Rhodes, Pease said. This builds off of an agreement signed in January for using automatic vehicle locator technology (AVL) for dispatching, something that essentially removed borders to Rock County communities as the closest department responds to any given emergency call.
