Volunteer firefighters from across the Rainy River district will be gathered at the Fort Frances airport this weekend.
Fire Chief of the Fort Frances Fire and Rescue Service Gerry Armstrong says they'll be involved in a fire suppression training course.
"The Ontario Fire Marshall's Office sponsors this training," says Armstrong. "It is certification training in the sense that it mets the requirements of the Ontario Firefighter curriculum. We have done this before. We actually conducted this very same kind of training in the municipality of Chapple last year.
Armstrong says the exercise will include several practise burns at the airport this weekend.
