The Bellefonte Fire Department will be using the structure at 116 Paradise Road in Benner Township for fire department training. The training will take place Saturday, 6/6 from 8 AM until 4 PM.
The training involves systematically lighting fires in the structure and extinguishing them using fire department personnel. This training is extremely beneficial for firefighters and better prepares them for when structural fires do occur. Fire and smoke will be visible at the address and around the area throughout the day.
A portion of Paradise Road will be restricted to one lane, beginning at 7 AM due to the placement of fire apparatus for the exercise. Fire Police personnel will be on site to assist with directing traffic in the area of the lane closure. Please use caution if you are navigating the area.
The training is being conducted under the supervision of Instructors from the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy. All appropriate permits and permissions have been secured.
The Bellefonte Fire Department appreciates your understanding and continued support!
