   The ceremony will include speakers from local law enforcement and fire departments. After the cere-mony will be fire safety demonstrations, including the barrel squirt, fire extinguisher demonstrations and vehicle extrication.
   “There will be a lot of interactive demonstrations for guests, as well,” said Taylor Fire Chief Clay Wood. “We’ve got a smoke trailer, a firearms training system, K-9 Unit demonstrations, a driving track, fatal vision goggles and a chance to work the fire hose.”
   Also immediately following the ceremony will be tours of the training facility classrooms, where safety videos will be shown, as well as tours of the burn tower, flash chamber and even the facility’s helicopter.
