Thank you to everyone that was able to attend our 25th anniversary 9/11 walk in remembrance of the victims and first responders in the September 11th terrorist attacks. We had an incredible turn out from both the Clark and Belfry communities for our 1.5 mile walk. Thank you to bagpiper Tom Bercher, the American Legion Post 84, Park County Search and Rescue, Cody Volunteer Fire Department, and Guardian flight for participating. We appreciate all of the support our community provides so we can continue to have events like these in the future.

CPR Certification, April 14
Members of the Clark Fire Department gathered to take a CPR course from Scott Bagnell with Powell Valley Healthcare to earn or renew their certifications and update their CPR skills and knowledge.
The Clark Fire Department was joined by members of the Belfry Fire Department for a 2 day class taught by Nick Johnson with the Wyoming State Fire Marshal’s Office, on fire dynamics, flow paths, and effective water application. SLICE-RS is a modern approach to structural firefighting that is built on the latest tactics and studies to help firefighters make safer and more efficient attacks during a fire emergency.
The course consisted of a classroom session in which students went over the modern understandings of fire behavior and fuels, and discussed previous case studies where these concepts put firefighters lives at risk; as well as how our current knowledge can be applied in these situations to save the lives of both victims and responders. At the end of the course the students were shown a live-fire demonstration of how these behaviors play out in a real physical space.
