CERT has been requested to provide fire rehab for Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) training that will be conducted here at the Public Safety Complex. This training is specialized for firefighters who respond to aircraft emergencies. Your role in rehab gives firefighters a safe place to rest, cool down, rehydrate, after working in heavy gear near extreme heat. This keeps our firefighters healthy, keeps their training on track, and helps them gain experience that will valuable during real emergencies.

Your CERT shirt and badge are REQUIRED for this event. The ARFF prop is located behind the EOC (26571 Airport Rd). Follow the entrance road and go through the gate on the right side of the complex, follow the road all the way to the back, and you will see the plane. CERT will be located at the blue pavilion on the right side.
