The beginning

In an effort to better train our personnel and reduce the stress of the certification process we started working on becoming a chartered training facility. With certified courses held in the area being on an irregular schedule, at various locations, and many times causing excessive travel times, we decided to venture out to make a more effective and consistent training situation for our members, and if other departments benefit as well, even better! By utilizing various schedule arrangements and trying to develop our course to best suit all parties involved we plan to offer the best product out there.

Our Staff

Our staff is made up of Ohio certified fire Instructors with a vast range of specialties and years of experience. Our instructors have various backgrounds from career firefighters to Volunteers, arson investigators to career fire instructors traveling the state educating, and ranging from firefighters clear through to chiefs. all of our instructors proudly got their start in the volunteer fire service and many continue to serve in the volunteer fire service.
