Media Day at Wild Land Training


During the last week the Media was invited to observe, video and interview
San Jose Fire Department crews as they trained in real time during simulated wildland firefighting operations. Firefighters complete this training every year as part of a comprehensive curriculum which helps them prepare for the upcoming wildland season. Lessons learned on the training ground are valuable components to the safety and success during actual wildland fires.

NBC, KCBS, and KLIV were some of the Media present. This training and the San Jose Fire Department was featured in a media loop over the entire day on KCBS and was on the 6 o'clock news on NBC. Reporters were given a Media Awareness Information Packet and all access to the training.
