NC Forest Service Training At Grove Stone

Posted on February 5th, 2016

Grove Stone & Sand Co. has multiple ponds along our haul road that were old mining pits and have since filled with rainwater and are natural wildlife areas. Today, The North Carolina Forest Service used one of the ponds for a training exercise with their firefighting division.  This gave inexperienced personnel the opportunity to practice coordinating with the Forest Service Helicopter on where to drop water in case of a fire. 

See the picture below from the cool training exercise.
