Firefighters hone skills at training school
By STEPHANIE MARTIN
The Battalion
Over 2,600 firefighters will participate in
Texas A&M's 64th Annual Municipal Texas
Firemen's Training School next week.
The Texas Engineering Extension Service
(TEEX) will conduct over 27 courses, provid
ing participants with hands-on training in ar
eas such as rescue practices, inspections, fire
service officer development, fire prevention,
pump maintenance and both introductory and
advanced firefighting.
"The school's goals are to save lives and
save injuries, and also to protect the firemen,"
said Charles Page, chief of the school.
Drills will be conducted on the 62-acre
Brayton Fireman Training Field, and classes
will take place in classrooms on and near the
A&M campus.
Over 500 guest instructors, coming from a
variety of backgrounds in firefighting will
teach at the Municipal School.
"It is an honor to be selected to instruct in
our school," said Brenda Sims, Director of
Marketing and Communications of TEEX.
Live firefighting demonstrations will be
open to the public on Brayton Fireman Train
ing Field at 8 p.m. on July 28. At 7:30, children
can participate in fire-prevention exercises.
Since its start in 1919, the nation's largest
municipal firefighting school has expanded
and become more specialized.
During the next two weeks, three additional
courses are being held to highlight a variety of
firefighting techniques and exercises.

Three killed during Fort Hood training exercise
Guardsmen shot in night maneuvers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT HOOD — Three Texas
National Guard soldiers were
killed Wednesday by gunfire
from other troops during a train
ing exercise at Fort Hood, Na
tional Guard officials said.
"They were hit by fire from
other soldiers," said Lt. Col. F.d
Komandosky, a spokesman at
Guard headquarters in Austin.
Spc. Daniel F. Benitez, 27, of
Donna, Spc. Jose C. Ramos Jr., 42,
of Weslaco and Sgt. Raul Carde
nas, 27, of Weslaco were pro
nounced dead at Darnell Army
Community Hospital in Killeen.
The three suffered fatal in
juries at about 1:30 a.m
They were outside their
Bradley armored vehicle on a
range at Fort Hood near Killeen,
Komandosky said.
He said the victims were
members of the 3rd Battalion,
141st Infantry of the Texas Na
tional Guard in McAllen and had
experience in the training exer
cise having been in the Guard for
some time.
Capt. Jane -Crichton at Fort
Hood said the troops — some in
vehicles and some on foot — were
participating in a night exercise in
which they were simulating an at
tack on enemy forces using pop
up and stationary targets.
"I can't say what the guys in
the vehicle knew or thought —
the ones that fired on the soldiers
— we just don't know. That's
something that will come out,"
said Maj. Ken Roberts, another
Army spokesman.
Roberts said about 50 soldiers
moved in and along five Bradley
armored vehicles in a line at least
300-meters wide during the exer
cise. The three were nit by fire
from a 7.62-caliber machine gun
mounted on a Bradley vehicle.
"Everybody was firing down-
range," Roberts said. "One vehi
cle accidentally fired into a
group of dismounted soldiers.
The why and how is all part of
the investigation."
Roberts said he didn't know
whether the three had gotten
ahead of the line of troops taking
part in the exercise. Roberts re
fused to speculate whether the
men were mistaken as targets.
