Missoula Montana Training Class.....May 17 and 18, 2008
A two-day prototype Training Class was held for the Missoula County Animal Control at their Fairgrounds on May 17 & 18th. This event was a result of
Noah's Wish deployment and animal assistance during the Missoula wildland fires in 2007. A special thanks to Ed Franceschina of Animal Control for hisefforts in getting this very sucessfull class organized and arranging the use of their fairgrounds.
The last training session of the 2008 season was held in Highland, Illinois May 30, 31st and June 1st.
What a finale to this year's training! The season closed with a bang and much more realism than anyone could anticipate, what with tornado sirens screaming in the background, golf ball size hail pounding the fairgrounds and then the power fails. What more could you ask for in disaster response training!
