Tuesday was a busy day for
Siuslaw Valley Fire and
Rescue (SVFR) firefighters.
Some members of the crew
started their day with a 6:30
a.m. call to extinguish a large
fire at Pacific Pines RV Park
and Storage and ended their
work day after 11 p.m., when
SVFR’s “Burn to Learn” train-
ing event finished.
According to Operations
Chief Marvin Tipler, volun-
teers and staff were given the
option to not do the “Burn to
Learn” training that day.
“I think everyone would
have been disappointed. It’s
such a valuable thing that
everyone wanted to make sure
we did it,” Tipler said.
Even though a majority of
the firefighters attended the
morning’s fire, they voted to
go forward with the evening’s
training.
The “Burn to Learn” took
place at a manufactured home
1930 Hwy 101 • Florence, OR 97439

on Mercer Lake Road. The
house was right on the water.
According to Tipler, the
only thing unique about the
controlled burn was that the
owners of the house and prop-
erty wanted to keep the
garage, and not let it burn.
The training benefitted five
of seven new volunteers that
just graduated from SVFR’s
program Sunday.
“We did cycles inside the
home of fire suppression tech-
niques. We did four to five
rounds so everyone had a
chance to experience a live,
controlled burn,” said Tipler.
The firefighters also used
SVFR’s water response unit, a
retired Coast Guard vehicle
that the department uses for
rescues and fire suppression.
“It’s absolutely awesome
training to get the crews out on
an actual fire,” Tipler said.
He said that the department
does as many as four “Burn to
Learn” trainings in one year.
“We do them as frequently
as we can get them,” he said.

Pioneer Museum celebrates being mortgage free tonight
After a move into Old Town
from south of the bridge and
a debt of $710,000, the volun-
teers and board members of
the Siuslaw Pioneer Museum
went to work achieving the
goal of eliminating the
museum’s mortgage payment.
Ten years and five months
later, the museum is mortage
free.
“We at the Siuslaw Pioneer
Museum owe the people of the
community a huge debt of
gratitude for the generosity
they have shown to the muse-
um, with donations to the
museum Legacy Fund,” said
Del Phelps, who has been the
Siuslaw Pioneer Museum
board president for the past 10
years. “That in turn, has made
it possible for the museum to
now be debt-free.”
The museum leadership
wants to show its appreciation
by hosting a public celebra-
tion, catered by Mon Ami,
tonight, June 20, from 5 to 8
p.m.
There will be bread, wines
and delicacies.
Come join the celebration at
the museum, located on the
corner of Maple and Quince
streets.

Summer Auto Tips:
Cooling System: The greatest cause of summer breakdowns
is overheating. The cooling system should be completely
flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level,
condition, and concentration of the coolant should be checked
periodically. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps,
and hoses should be checked by a pro.
