My Dog Flunked Service School, Now He s An Arson Detector John Tadlock On 6/3/21 at 8:54 AM EDT
Growing up as a kid in Texas, the volunteer fire department was right by our house and as soon as I turned 18 I joined. I knew all along being a firefighter was what I wanted to do but it was put on hold when I married and had my kiddos. In freshman year of college I had taken an ENT course and I went to paramedic school right after that, so I didn t become a paid firefighter for the Saginaw Fire Department in Saginaw, Texas until I was 31 years old.

On Wednesday, a pair of specialized K9 dogsâtwo of five in the entire state of Michiganâwere recertified to sniff out arson accelerants.
Dale DeKorte with the Kent County Sheriffâs Office and his K9 Ritzey, and Marshall firefighter Matt Parks and his K9 Bingo, both completed their recertification on a Zoom call Wednesday. The four successfully completed a series of tasks. It was the culmination of a lot of hard work, for a good cause.

MILAN, Tenn. Tuesday was Test Day for fire investigator Brent Autry and his K-9 Tony, who is trained in detecting accelerants at fires.
“As you see today, we’re going to do basics,” Autry said. “It’s the first thing we do in the morning, and last thing we do in the evening.”
They would typically travel to do their recertification, but since it was through video this year, we got to join in.
“We have to go through this process and have the owner of the company and everyone watch us and make sure we’re doing everything right,” Autry said.
