We are proud to announce that the 2010 Mechanics School, our 30th, is going on this week. Check out the pictures here.
In keeping with the depressed economy at this time, we will be keeping last year's prices. Even thou our expenses have increased, we feel that the education of our 'people' is more important. The Phoenix Inn has also joined our quest and have agreed to keep last year's special price in effect. H&W Emergency Vehicles has also joined our quest and have again agreed to sponsor a $500 tuition scholarship for this year's school. This special scholarship will be awarded from the 'Gerald Nordlund Scholarship' applicants.
For the first time, we are providing 7 different management classes. These do not meet the requirements for the Management Certification Track. They are modeled after classes provided at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg. So If you are a shop supervisor, fire ground officer, anyone that has leadership responsibilities or plan to be, these are important classes to attend.
Just click on the registration or scholarship links located at the bottom of the page for more detailed information.
