Local, state emergency crews put training to test in weeklong program

Local emergency management officials joined others Monday from around the state in weeklong training exercises aimed at improving responses to disasters.

The program is called Without Warning, a full-scale disaster response exercise led by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.

A crew of four Seymour firefighters entered training today at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center near Butlerville.

They and their ladder truck joined firefighters from Bloomington and Columbus fire departments along with a volunteer unit, Seymour Fire Chief Brad Lucas said.
