Fire Fighters from Ohio’s Century Mine Test Rend Lake College’s Fire Training Facility
Members of the fire brigade from Century Mine in Beallsville, Ohio put Rend Lake College’s state-of-the-art fire fighter training facility to the test last week, with various scenarios in the mock underground mine as well as on the surface, reports the Benton Evening News.
“It is invaluable for us to ensure safe, realistic and effective training,” said Terry Wilkerson, RLC Applied Science and Technology Division chair. “This was a significant day for our mining program. Today, with the first of many successful live fire training sessions, we made the industry aware that we are the training facility in the Illinois Coal Basin, the next hotbed for the coal industry.”
