WICKLIFFE, Ky. — Despite the brutal heat nearly two dozen volunteer firefighters gathered for training in Ballard County Saturday. 

 
The Wickliffe City Fire Department sponsored the training for people from other areas. 
 
The goal is to learn how to attack and fire scene and stay safe.      
 
"To teach communications.  Everybody is on the same side of the hose, everybody is talking to one another, everybody is in sync as they're going in and being aware of their surroundings and staying safe the whole time," Wickliffe, Ky. Fire Chief David Bell said.
