WOODSTOCK — Local volunteer firefighters brought practical experience to Woodstock Academy’s Fire Science class in a hands-on session described in an October 27 department account shared by WINY Radio.

Woodstock Volunteer Fire Association, Station 76, said it worked with Bungay Fire Brigade during the morning class. Two WINY posts carried accounts of the same activity; they are not separate confirmation of two different sessions.

The partnership links students studying fire science with the volunteer organizations that serve their community. Woodstock Volunteer Fire Association’s current website identifies school and community education, public-safety training and volunteer development among its activities.

The association serves southern Woodstock and works with Bungay Fire Brigade in western Woodstock and Muddy Brook Fire Department in the town’s north and east. Its website describes mutual aid among the three organizations. This report does not identify students, claim certification from the class or assign a particular apparatus to the session.
