    I don't know if I know you or not. We could possibly have taken some classes together. I've been around for 10 years now and been all over taken classes. Yes, Oak Grove has definately grown. We have lots of subdivisions now! Businesses too.

    Just trying to keep it in a tight circle. Sort of getting headaches with this pre-registered certified firefighting training.

    Sorry it took so long.I wanted to verify who you would need to talk to.Bill Barnes would be your contact at (501)622-8246.The person that is at the top is Bob Summerville.Bill will get you in touch with him.Basically again , the program is as follows.You identify your needs and apply for a boat.The boats come without fire supplies.You will have to outfit it.The boats are available to depts. as they arrive.They have to be docked in a covered dock.You agree to train yearly with all of us.We get together once a year.The newer boats go to the existing programs first.Hey , we got two great boats for our first as the pictures show.Alot depends on how you put it together.Bill can help more or if you have questions, let me know.Be safe and God Bless.
