The Workforce Education Department at 麻豆视传媒在线入口 (LCC) is hosting the 41st Annual Fire School on聽April 6 and聽7. LCC has provided the continued education for full-time and volunteer fire fighters from across the region聽for over forty years.听
Training sessions are led by representatives from area fire departments, Kansas Forest Service, Fools of Oz, Nelms Fire Company, One Warrior LLC and many more. Keynote speaker and Battalion Chief in Moore, Oklahoma, Corley Moore will speak on the nine principals of leadership in a presentation called “The 9 L’s.”聽
Ross Harper, LCC's聽Dean of CTE and Workforce,聽is pleased that the college is able to offer this unique training opportunity. "We're proud聽of LCC's long history of equipping area firefighters with skills and learning experiences to better prepare them to safeguard their communities," Harper said. "Because area fire departments continue to have limited budgets and limited access to resources, it’s is even more crucial for LCC to bring in experts who provide this high quality training annually at an affordable cost to participants"
Some coursework and hands-on training sessions聽are targeted to new firefighters, while other聽sessions will聽fulfill continuing education requirements for experienced firefighters. Course topics during the two-day training event聽include: wildland fires, vehicle extrication, interior firefighting, and two live burn classes.听
