Regional Fire Trainings
Kansas Fire & Rescue Training Institute
Fire Forum
Attendees of these regional training events have the opportunity to learn from American fire service trainers and thought leaders. Participants can interact and engage during the seminar-formatted single-day forums to understand how the messages relate to their individual departmental needs. Tactics, training, and leadership: There's something to help everyone become more aggressively effective.
