“The BF&RS advised that there are currently four fire officers participating in the training. Through rotation, each officer is allowed to drive under simulated emergency conditions while under the special supervision of the driving instructor.
“The public is encouraged to exercise patience and caution while these emergency exercises take place.
“The BF&RS advises that another slate of emergency driver’s training is planned for January through March 2021.”
