The Third Annual Fire and EMS Stand Down will take place during
the week of June 17-23. This year's theme, "Ready to Respond,"
focuses on the proper training, preparation, and equipment necessary
to answer a call and return safely.
The Stand Down has an expanded schedule this year to provide
departments with maximum flexibility for participating in the
exercise, including weekend opportunities to better accommodate
volunteers.
