威斯康星州太阳草原 - 每一份礼物 - 从$ 1到$ 100,000 -红旅馆消防救援基金会朝着筹集110万美元的目标消防设施训练塔。
在“我们的工作并希望我们的志愿者保持安全且训练有素”的“赞赏”中，大约有2500人的小镇，捐出的捐款和承诺是出于“赞赏”。利润基础。由于数百次一对一的会议和情感年末的吸引力，红洛奇消防救援has almost reached the finish line.
“We have more than 100 volunteers within all of our divisions,” says Ewald. “Close to 100 percent of them made personal donations to this capital campaign. They have been our biggest and best voice. We have an incredibly generous community here in theRed Lodge, MT区域。当这种培训结构打开时，它将得到充分和私人的资金，而无需任何纳税人款项。”
20年的梦想
The idea for a combined training facility for Fire, EMS and Search and Rescue has been a dream in Red Lodge for about 20 years. Unfortunately, various plans and locations failed to gain traction. However, several years ago the focus narrowed and a strategy came together.
Red Lodge Fire Rescue并没有继续在车站进行“打击和错过”类型的培训，并引入州燃烧拖车，而是能够将他们的大部分培训集中在一个地点和一个结构上：助理消防局长来自火灾设施。
“The size and layout of The Assistant Fire Chief offers many of the training options we’re looking for with our three divisions,” says Todd Daily, Red Lodge volunteer firefighter since 2011. “It’s an all-steel structure with a four-story training tower, residential section and burn room annex. We also added in a great number of options to customize the structure for our specific training needs.
“可移动的墙壁将使我们能够模拟内部火灾攻击。我们可以经常更改布局，以为消防员开发战略思维。对齐的内联地板舱口可用于限制空间救援模拟，并能够通过舱口进行三脚架拼图。在较低的屋顶上切碎道具使我们能够在可重复使用的可重复使用的道具上训练，该道具类似于合理高度的本地屋顶俯仰。最后，拥有强行入口门是我们从未有过的东西，因此为我们的培训带来了新的元素。”
使用消防设施
According to Daily, having a dedicated place to train will be the most rewarding part of having the new training tower. His background in general contracting allowed him to serve as a construction consultant on the project during the past several years.
“消防设施一直耐心和反应，因为我们已经满足了需求清单。”“在计划过程中，我们进行了多次更改。每次更改都是由消防设施团队及时进行的。我们一直认为这一直是团队的努力。”
Training to Benefit Everyone
When the Assistant Fire Chief opens this year, it will be home to training for more than 100 volunteers plus seven full-time team members. Their jurisdiction covers the towns of Red Lodge, Bearcreek, and Luther and extends south to the Wyoming border. In addition, their coverage area includes the Beartooth and Pryor Mountains, high deserts, rolling prairie, watersheds, wilderness areas and national forest lands, plus the Beartooth Highway, a gateway to Yellowstone National Park.
志愿者协调员兼Red Lodge Fire Rescue的公共信息官员艾米·海菲尔德（Amy Hyfield）说：“一旦开放，培训中心将适用于我们地区的所有紧急服务合作伙伴。”“我们希望这是每个人的区域资产。”
Reflecting on the future of training with The Assistant Fire Chief, Hyfield echoes Daily’s enthusiasm for simulated live-fire training in changeable settings.
海菲尔德说：“能够在阁楼空间和烟囱道具上打火绝对是我们无法重现的。”“屋顶音高，通风机会和梯子选择也是如此。此外，考虑到整个建筑物进行训练的能力令人兴奋。对于我们的搜救成员来说，有许多悬而未决的选择将是关键。”
Hyfield has been an EMT with Red Lodge since 2018, a firefighter since 2013 and began as a SAR volunteer in 2011. “It’s true what Sarah says about our community,” says Hyfield. “They respect our work and they believe in all of us. Fire Chief Tom Kuntz gains strong admiration and respect both internally and in the community. This is a small community with big hearts. When we cut the ribbon in May, we’ll all be there celebrating together.”
