The firefighters seen climbing the light towers of Edgar Brown Stadium were NOT responding to an emergency!
The quiet beauty near Edgar Brown Stadium was interrupted yesterday when nearby residents spotted Pasco Fire Department vehicles parked near the light towers and firefighters ascending them. While initially it raised eyebrows, people soon realized it was not an emergency but a planned training session.
The exercise, conducted with Pasco School District #1 and neighboring fire departments, was meant to enhance emergency response preparedness and cooperation. Firefighters were engaged in simulated rescue operations and coordinated maneuvers to sharpen their skills in handling various crisis scenarios, including on the extremely high towers.
