Clarksburg Fire Department holds smoke screening class
VIDEO: Monday the Clarksburg Fire Department participated in a class to be better educated on the types of smoke they see during various calls. At their station on North Ohio Avenue, a wood model house was set up to simulate various types of house fires. Captain Walter Knight knows this latest training will help the safety of his crew. “When they arrive at the scene to be able to look from outside the structure and be able to tell where in the building the fire is located so they have some idea geographically where they need to go to and how intense the fire might be even though the building could be sealed up or whether it would be a house or a commercial type of structure. Either way it gives them, I won’t say an edge, but it gives them a little bit of an idea of what they are getting into before they commit themselves to that hazardous environment.”

First responders around the state discuss bridge collapse emergency protocols
VIDEO: In the wake of the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse in Maryland Tuesday morning, local first responders are sharing their emergency plans if a bridge collapse were ever to happen again in West Virginia. David Armstrong, the Deputy Director of Kanawha County Emergency Management, says it is important to be prepared for it to happen anywhere. He says Kanawha and Putnam Counties share an all-hazard plan in case of a bridge collapse. Armstrong says from the moment a 911 call comes in that a bridge collapsed, it’s all hands on deck. Police and fire departments, county emergency teams, and even the Coast Guard can be dispatched. From there, an emergency alert can be sent to the public if deemed necessary. Upon arrival, swift water and diving teams have to determine if it’s safe enough to go into the water and begin a search mission.
