On July 28th, July 30th, August 3rd, and August 5th, the Town of Chilhowie Public Works personnel participated in a Department of VA Fire Programs Hazardous Materials Operations course. They were instructed how to create dams, dikes, and divert liquid spills. They also went over how to properly set-up and go through decontamination. This completes the Public Works personnel's required basic firefighter training. We would like to congratulate them on staying focused and giving it their all!
