Practice using a chemical fire extinguisher. BMF volunteer responders will be sure you know how to safely and effectively operate your extinguishers using the P-A-S-S method. Walk-up training for most ages, from 10 until 2.
Maximize your wildfire mitigation efforts. Members of BMFPD's professional mitigation team address wildfire-related issues and best mitigation practices – plus news about some community grants to stretch your mitigation $$. Presentation + Q&A. NO registration required. The session runs 12 to 1:30 in the Community Room (upstairs).
Attend the semi-annual New Resident Welcome briefing. Meet Chief Benson and get a jump-start on your mountain safety savvy. The briefing starts at 10.00 am in the Training Room (upstairs). Intended for those who have moved to the fire district in the last couple years, this meeting requires pre-registration. Register here: Spring Welcome Signup
