Fire Department news and notes.

Several of Milton's firefighters have reached important educational milestones recently. In pursuing advanced education in the fire service, they increase Milton's ability to provide efficient, effective public safety services.

These include:

Battalion Chief Danny Elliott and Capt. Andrew Kennedy completed the extensive training needed to become nationally certified as Fire Investigators. Milton investigates all fires, and their training increases the department's ability to provide full-service community risk reduction services through identifying and, hopefully, eliminating causes of fire. Battalion Chief Bill Bourn attended the Maryland Fire Institute's Staff and Command program. While there Bourn polished his management skills by learning from some of the best minds in the fire service.
