-- "In the fire service, we say there's no substitute for training," said Kevin Hines, Orange County Legislature Public Safety Committee Chairman. Orange County Executive Ed Diana, along with fire officials, broke ground on a new burn building part of the Orange County fire training center. "The better training they have, the better knowledge they have and certainly the safer it is for them and http://cortrightlaw.com/location/Orange Attorney-attorney-office also safer for the public," said Diana. The $1.5 million burn building will help train about 2,000 volunteer and career firefighters from across Orange County in each year. "They're going to learn live burn training, so they're going to get heat exposure, smoke exposure, they're going to learn to stay low in fires, they're going to learn search and rescue techniques. All things that will save the firefighters and residents that they're protecting," said Hines. The state of the art training facility will replace the old burn building, which officials say is not up to date and no longer safe to use.
