Today, while leaving, Captain Beth Gulley, discovered this injured Duck behind the firehouse. The duck was being attacked by an eagle when Captain Gulley intervened. Firefighters from Station 445B assisted with getting the duck safely in the firehouse and out of danger. The duck is now being fed and getting wound care. Captain Gulley has a heart of gold and shows it to even the smallest of citizens.

We will be conducting Live Burns at this house on the northwest corner of 700 West and US 40. This structure was donated by the developers of a new subdivision scheduled to go in later this year. The live burns will be Monday through Saturday and allow our crews to practice several disciplines under realistic fire conditions. These are controlled burns following NFPA 1403 which is the standard for Live Fire training. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact Lt. Tony Bratcher at tbratcher@sugarcreektwp.com
