First Annual Fire Officer Training Weekend - Sissonville, WV
October 26 - 28, 2012
The Fire Officer Training Weekend is coming upon us very
quickly.
You DO NOT have to already be a fire officer to attend the
school. Anyone can take these courses. They are simply based more
on Fire Officer duties.
All Fire Departments in West Virginia and many bordering
counties in surrounding states should have received brochures in
the mail about a month ago. If for some reason you did not receive
it you can still register online or you can print out a brochure
from the Website.
Again, we have teamed up with West Virginia University Fire
Service Extension to offer Pro Board Certification for some of our
courses: Fire Officer 1/2, Fire Instructor 1/2, and Hazardous
Materials - Incident Command.
Many of our courses have been approved for EMS and Law
Enforcement In-Service Training.
Lunch will be provided on Saturday at no charge to students.
All courses have a maximum number of students that are allowed
to attend. You need to pre-register as soon as possible to ensure
you get the course you want. Some are already beginning to fill
up.

this certification.

I/II course, and a Hazardous Materials - Incident Command
course.

FREE INCIDENT SAFETY OFFICER TRAINING!!!
In conjunction with the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC),
Motorola Communications, and the West Virginia State Firemen's
Association, we are proud to offer a FREE four (4) hour Incident
Safety Officer Course on Friday evening , October 26, 2012 at the
training weekend. The course uses a combination of lecture and
small group exercises. This is an excellent primer for the National
Fire Academy's ISO course and a solid refresher to those who may
already have ISO training.
The Instructor for the course is Kevin Quinn who is the Deputy
Chief of the Union Valley District in Rhode Island. He has 36 years
experience in the fire service and serves on the Executive
Committee of the NVFC. The Union Fire District has been in
operation since 1883 and currently has 184 volunteers.
