GLENDO – On June 22, 2024, approximately 25 wildland firefighters trained on wildfire related tasks. The morning was spent on pump operations, working in tandem, structure protection and water use. The afternoon was line construction and firing. There was shelter deployment training and an incident-within-an-incident training towards the end of the day. During the simulated exercise, firefighters called in water drops from Helitack.
“This is unprecedented for Platte County. This is the first time we’ve ever done an exercise this size here in the Glendo area,” said Chief Dave Noyce, Glendo Volunteer Fire Department.
