Colorado Springs firefighters start month-long training exercise off Austin Bluffs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – Smoke, fire trucks, water hoses! A neighborhood just northeast of Palmer Park is going to be busy with fire activity for the next month, but don’t be alarmed — it’s all for show!
Springs firefighters kicked off a month-long training exercise Tuesday at Austin Bluffs and Goldenrod Drive.
“Fire apparatus will be in the area performing firefighting tasks, including ladder deployments, search, and hose evolutions. Theatrical smoke will be utilized and may be visible. Please do not call 911 for the fire training evolutions, as they are planned events,” CSFD said in a social media post.
Expect to see this activity Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Regular training helps keep firefighters in tiptop mental and physical shape when the real thing happens.
“We would like to thank our partners at Colorado Springs Utilitiesfor helping to make this training possible for our firefighters,” CSFD said.
