Fire safety team formed after Maryland forest fires
A wind shift and dry conditions spurred Frederick County Maryland to form the Wildland Fire Team a 36 member coalition of volunteers and professionals from departments of Fire and Rescue Services and local fire corporations. The group aims to train volunteers for large scale forest fires educate the public on home protection and coordinate with state and local agencies for rapid response. They will begin training in January with chain saws donated by the Frederick County Forestry Board and plan to use prescribed burning and defensive lines to contain fires while emphasizing safety gear and clear access for firefighting equipment.
