Gas Service has donated pipe and labor to install underground
gas lines for use in training props at the Newton Fire/EMS training
grounds, 800 S.W. 14th. This will enable the fire/EMS department
to conduct training without having to move the above-ground
pipe from prop to prop. |
|
Piping will be connected to the burn building and four propane
burn props as well as a feeder line from the main propane
tank to the control station. Kansas Gas employees also will
install a line from the tank to the storage building for future
use for heating.

“It is a tremendous addition to the training grounds and
will make our training evolutions much safer to operate,”
Deputy Chief Dean Davis said.
On Oct. 16, Newton fire/EMS will host a Basic Firemanship Day
to train area firefighters on these props and others at the
training grounds. |
