TRAINING DIVISION

It is with great pride and honor that I serve as the Northern Lakes Fire Protection District Training Division Chief. I believe that with proper training and education we can better serve the public and keep our firefighters safe throughout their careers.

 

The hazards associated with the firefighting profession increase every year along with the need for more specialized training and education to meet the challenges of our growing population and demand for services. To accomplish our mission of providing a high level of proficient and competent service to our public, the District provides regularly scheduled training including fire suppression, hazardous material response, technical rescue, vehicle extrication, water and ice rescue, as well as professional development and certification for our members.  Our training program meets fire safety standards and utilizes the vast experience and talents of our personnel.

 

I encourage your questions and comments. I can be reached at 208/772-5711 or via email by clicking on my photo.
