All new Fire Fighters attending the spring semester will be issued a practice rope at the beginning of the semester.
All students must bring the practice rope to every training session. The rope is theirs to keep.
Hazardous Materials Awareness and Foam Streams have been intentionally omitted from this schedule
as they are usually provided “in house”. However, the training committee can provide this training if necessary.
Please contact Lt. Richard Stefanowicz with any questions or concerns regarding the training calendar.
