Today AFD academy class 5-26 performed their wildland skills and I had the honor of capturing it for them. They performed drafting operations, cutting in a fire line, how to properly use the tools to their advantage, and a few other skills. We also got to see the 2 brand new Grass rigs that AFD has recently received. G-3, and G-6. These are vital for the grass fires around here and to go on deployments to help other areas when needed. We will have more to follow for Academy 5-26! Amarillo Fire Department Amarillo Professional Firefighters Local 542
