Welcome
The year 2008 was another milestone one, for us. We had 187 firefighters in attendance and they received over 2900 hours of training. We are in our fourth year and we will be adding new classes once again. This year we will be offering additional National Fire Academy classes and Beyond Helmet and Hoses - Strategy and Tactics of Leading a Volunteer or Combination Fire/Rescue Organization.
The Fire Services Course Delivery will be returning this year and it will allow the graduates to test for Instructor I providing you are Firefighter I with six years of experience. We felt this was a worthwhile addition to the curriculum and hope you do, too.
This year we will be returning to Northwest Florida State College (formally Okaloosa Walton College). They have an area for drivers training which will be available for our EVOC class. They also have a burn building so we will not have to travel to get to one. We have use of their classrooms and College Mall for our lunches, banquet, breaks and our vendor displays.
We look forward to you joining us this year to make this the best year, yet!
