VIDEO: Every Summer new recruits get trained for the Golder Ranch Fire District. This year’s class is over 20 strong and did some of their first hands on training Thursday morning. Today’s lesson is how to handle car fires. “It's a danger everyone has because almost everyone owns a car," Division Chief Adam Hastings said. "It’s just something that can happen at any time in the communities.” A prop metal car is used to simulate the fire over and over again, hooked up to a gas line. One of the first things trainees are taught is to spray the ground around the car to clear any debris or gas that could light up later. Alex Gerber is a new recruit. He says his instructors have stressed the danger car fires bring, as almost every call involves one or multiple passengers.
