AN AGILITY TESTING SERIES for Illinois Valley Fire Dis-
trict (IVFD) volunteers and staff was held at Jubilee Park
to ensure that firefighters are capable of meeting the of-
ten-demanding physical challenges of the emergencies
they will encounter. The series included hauling hoses,
unrolling and then rerolling large-diameter hoses, climb-
ing ladders in full gear including breathing apparatus and
pulling weights. The district has openings for volunteers
as firefighters or in support tasks. Training is provided.
