MASON CITY – The Mason City Fire Department and ambulance conducted a training exercise Thursday evening in a parking lot near its headquarters.
According to Fire Chief Bob Platts, the emergency responders “were doing night training and doing Pump Operations with 2315 (Engine) and 2341 (Tower).”
He says the training is critical to keeping his team ready for anything.
“Every year we have to document a number of hours doing Firefighting Operations during night hours,” Chief Platts explained.
