Fire schools

Does anyone else's city or township sponsor a county-wide fire school? If so, what do Explorers do there?

Our County (Genesee Cty., MI) has a county-wide Fire Academy which is run every year. It is a state certification class for FFI & FFII. Explorers may take the academy if their department sponsors them and they receive the same state FFI & FFII certification as any firefighter.

Berks County in PA does, your dept. has to sponsor you though

You got it all wrong. I mean is there a fire school where all the cities and townships in that county gather in one place and run drills or classrooms together. I'm not talking about a state certification class.

Thats what I am talking about, we have the Berks Fire Training Center where people from all over the county come to learn

Our county is quite large so we do not have a certain area we we all join together to drill or meet. Occaisionally we have a combined dept drill (2-3 depts), or a seminar in which the whole county can come to, and those are usually located at either a large school or even a church.

Our dept. hosts a state fire school every year.Usually the juniors take an esstintials class.Sometimes we take other classes. Like this year we had a farm rescue class and mot of the juniors took it.
