Wednesday, October 9, 2024, starting at 6:00pm, the Burns Fire Department will be doing hosting a training through the Oregon Department of Safety Standards and Training (DPSST). This will take place on the street in front of the Burns' fire hall. The training will focus on flammable liquids and we will be using a propane prop. This prop has the ability to produce flames that appear to be unstable. Be assured, this is a controlled event with several safety features. We want the public to be aware of this so. if there are any concerns, you will know what is happening and why.
The airport meeting has been rescheduled to October 15 at 1:00 pm at Burns City Hall. It’s not being held on Monday because it’s Columbus Day and City Hall will be closed.
