BFD Training 2/24

On February 24, Belton firefighters met to take part in Map and Compass training.  Ryan Herring from Anderson City Fire/Tech Rescue presented a valuable class on using topographical maps and how to use the orienteering compass.  This training will prove handy during our March training drills when we take part in a multi-agency missing person drill.  Below are some resources to familiarize yourself with.
