On Dec. 21, Fermilab Fire Department provided mutual-aid assistance to Argonne Fire Department for a structure fire at the Visitors Center. Fermilab provided Argonne National Laboratory with a fire engine and a fire chief. This is a historic first for both laboratories. Fermilab fire station was promptly backfilled with daytime staff and off-shift fire department members for the duration of the incident.

In late September, Fire, Security and Medical Department personnel are trained to learn how to proceed in the event a medical helicopter would be needed at the Fermilab site.

Check, check

In the high bay facing out, a man uses a fire extinguisher to point at a small simulated fire. Several men look on.

In May 2021, James Ranson takes the training from the Fire Department on how to use fire extinguishers correctly, using a simulated fire. This is the last time Ranson takes extinguisher training before his retirement in 2022.
