The Concord Fire Department is set to carry out a live-fire training exercise on Thursday, March 13, at 1252 Cox Mill Road. This location is earmarked for the future J. E. “Jim” Ramsuer Park, part of the city's Parks and Recreation General Obligation Bond projects approved by voters.
The exercise will commence at 8:00 a.m. and continue through the afternoon. Residents nearby may notice smoke and a significant presence of fire department personnel. The department emphasizes that this is purely a training event, urging motorists to maintain traffic flow and advising individuals to call 911 only in case of a life-threatening emergency.
Such live-fire training is crucial for firefighters' skill development and prepares them for real emergency situations.
