Firefighters meet in Riverton for training

About 500 firefighters from across the United States met in Riverton this past weekend to take part in the Mid-Winter Fire School. The school was hosted by the Wyoming State Firemen's Association and the Riverton Volunteer Fire Department.. Scott Walters, chairman for the school and captain of the Riverton Fire Department, says firefighters took basic and more advanced classes. The classes are intended to help them advance their career knowledge with important and effective training. Walters says several fire department captains, chiefs, lieutenants and firefighters from Wyoming and other states volunteered their time to teach the classes and have been doing so for more than 30 years.
