Mayor Pro Tem Roger Brossmer and Councilman David Gafin got to experience firsthand the extensive training Downey firefighters go through when they participated in a controlled burn recently at the Gallatin medical complex, which is currently being demolished for new medical offices. The councilmen didn't just sit on the sidelines either. They donned authentic firefighter uniforms, climbed the roof and took part in the burn. Gafin is pictured in the top photo with Fire Chief Lonnie Croom. ********** Published: October 20, 2011 - Volume 10 - Issue 27
