Delaware firefighters attend live fire training to help sharpen skills

Thirty members of the Clayton Fire Company traveled to the Delaware State Fire

Officials say Clayton requires its members to attend at least 1 of 3 live fire classes a year to maintain their structural firefighting status within the fire company.

Members are able to participate in several fires throughout the period of a few hours allowing them to hone their skills and work on getting better.

Trainers with the Clayton Fire department says,  the members work on a series of skills from search and rescue, and ventilation, to extinguishing fires while in attendance of the the class.
