This Monday, The History Channel crew will be at Columbia Regional Airport (MO) to tape for a show called "Tactical to Practical." Hunter Ellis, Tactical to Practical host, will be here to train and operate the equipment. They will focus on the MU Fire Rescue Training Institute ARFF mobile trainer, our new E-One ARFF truck and their relationships to military equipment forerunners. We're very excited to show off our new truck and the mobile fire trainer. I'll post photos from the filming. When I get planned broadcast dates, I will post them too.
Operating and training firefighter on the MAFT (Mobile Aircraft Fire Trainer) is my part-time job.
