Last week, North Judson Fire Chief Joe Leszek shared that the Fire Department will soon be attending a nearby training session.

At the most recent North Judson Town Council meeting, Leszek told members that the AMKUS and Task Force Tips Rescue Systems training center was recently installed in Valpo.

“We’re excited about that, Valparaiso Fire uses it for their training center.” Leszek said, “It gives us the capability to a lot of ventilation work and simulate cutting roofs and things like that indoors so we don’t have to do it outdoors right now at this time of year.”

Leszek explained that session will take about three to four hours. He said few local stations will help cover the area in their absence and some NJ Firefighters will be sticking behind to man the station.

The North Judson Fire Department will be attending the session on Sunday, January 28th.
