BFW would like to welcome Dennis Woodring, who is a retired ATF Canine handler and the Pennsylvania Association of Arson Investigators to the Greater Reading area for use of our Bern Street location for their 2^nd Annual K-9 Day of Training. Today’s set up consisted of a certified ATF dog checking all the material prior to burning for contaminates that would trigger training dogs of false positives. After that was completed, with the supervision of the Reading Fire Department the material/items were burned and then hit with water to ensure the items were not burning/on fire. We then moved the furniture into the facility to stage a “fire loss.” Tomorrow for the day of training the K-9s and their handlers will run through fire scene searches, pinpoint drills, clothing searches, blind testing, and maintenance. We are honored to have them use of our facility and extremely excited to watch the K-9s in action tomorrow.
