Cloverdale and Sisters fire district personnel took training on handling
flammable liquids and gases last week.
sRAINING: Local
fire districts often
combine training
number of hazardous mate-
rial cargo trucks, fuel stations,
and propane tanks in our fire
districts.
Fire Chief Thad Olsen of
the Cloverdale Fire District
said that interagency training
is extremely important for our
agencies as they work together
on many of their calls.
“We have to be able to
integrate our operations so
that when personnel from
each agency show up, they
can work together seamlessly
to resolve the problem at
hand,” he said.
Firefighters from the Black
Butte Ranch, Cloverdale, and
Sisters-Camp Sherman dis-
tricts regularly train and oper-
ate together to provide the
best services possible to local
communities.

various types of liquid or gas
fires.
All training was com-
pleted using propane as the
fuel to minimize environmen-

coffee house whilst you plan your next ride in your fancy bik-
ing gear. I don’t even mind the worst sign language from you
as you impatiently pass me while en route to your fancy retreat
in the woods.
I don’t want you to have to deal with the worst, so may I
suggest highway 58 or 26; we’ll sure miss you making this
awesome town the worst.

To the Editor:
I agree with Ms. Pepperling (The Nugget, Letters to the
Editor, July 12) in her support of the roundabout. Any junction
— be it with stop sign, stoplight, or roundabout — will back up
if the traffic density becomes high enough.
Stepping back and looking at the big picture, when traf-
fic density returns to “normal,” the roundabout works like a
charm. I frequently have to travel from north to south over
Highway 20; the roundabout is a vast improvement over the
old stop sign.
