The Trion Fire Department says money raised at their recent Community Day event has allowed them to purchase a new shipping container that will be used to expand the fire training facility operated by the department.

The department posted, “Progress is being made at our Training and Live Fire Facility. We are excited for this much needed expansion. This will allow us to host more options on state live fire training classes in the near future. Training opportunities on basic and advanced skills will be more available now. We are thankful for our Community Day funds that were used to purchase this container”.

This year was the third time the department hosted the Community Day event.
