Luxemburg Fire looking for daytime firefighters

As wildfires rage out of control on the west coast, local volunteer fire departments are looking to find firefighters.  Luxemburg Area Fire Chief Lew DuChateau says that state-mandated training is required and the demand is for more daytime help.  He shares the process of becoming a firefighter.

 

 

DuChateau says training has a different look this year with the COVID-19 pandemic.   Firefighters break up in smaller groups to help maintain social distancing and following all safety procedures put in place since late March.  Luxemburg Fire & Rescue has about 30 volunteers working in the department.
