Firefighters use the Batavia Fire Department firetruck ladder to get to a rooftop.
Last week, the Batavia, Fermilab and Warrenville fire departments conducted training exercises in the Village. FESS is removing materials from buildings scheduled to be demolished to be reused in similar structures elsewhere. The fire departments made use of these near-end-of-life buildings, running emergency drills in and on them. Here the Batavia fire chief joins Fermilab firefighters as they cut into one building’s roof.
Matthew Bailey, Eagle Scout candidate for the Boy Scouts of America Troop 13, based in St. Charles, and volunteer scouts built shrub propagation boxes for Fermilab.
Fermilab ecologist Ryan Campbell worked with Eagle Scout Matthew Bailey to design boxes that will be used to grow more than a dozen different species of native shrubs that will eventually go into Fermilab wetlands, woodlands and prairies.
