Harrisburg, Pa.—October 22— Members of Swatara Fire-Rescue, 599 Eisenhower Blvd., participated in the Burn to Learn training program hosted by the Lower Paxton Township Bureau of Fire at the Paxtonia Station. The class, led by instructor Andy Starnes and sponsored by Seek Thermal and The Fire Store, focused on the use of thermal imaging cameras in live-burn scenarios.
