CVFD Hosts Multi-Department Training


On March 15-16, 2021, the Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department hosted a LP Gas & Live Burn Training for area departments. This training was provided by the Mississippi State Fire Academy. The CVFD was joined by Bolivar County Volunteer Fire Department, Ruleville Volunteer Fire Department, Sardis Fire and Rescue Department, and Mound Bayou Volunteer Fire Department.
Firefighters completed a classroom session on March 15th on the tactics and dynamics of LP fires. The Live Burn portion of the class was held March 16th. Firefighters practiced extinguishing controlled LP fires in front of a lively Cleveland crowd. 65 total Firefighters were able to take part in the training.
Special thanks to the MS State Fire Academy for their expert instruction, Quality Steel in Cleveland MS for the donation of the propane tank prop to the Fire Academy, and C.P. House Gas Company in Cleveland MS for the propane.
