Every year for the last 27 years, members of the local emergency services have gathered for two days of training and networking during the Cook County Emergency Services Conference.

This year’s event included a variety of training opportunities, ranging from classroom studies to entering the frigid Lake Superior waters or a burning building.

WTIP’s Rhonda Silence checked in on the action at the live burn which took place right next door to the WTIP studio.
