Basic Firemanship Day is designed to allow fire departments to send individuals or groups of personnel to practice their basic hands on skills in live fire and simulated evolutions. The intent of this training is for those participating to practice their skills with little intervention from instructors. Participants will get out of this training what they put into it.
Kansas Fire Service Training Institute at Kansas University has joined with us this year in bringing this very important training to you free of charge. They will be providing the Interior burn Trailer and SCBA Confidence Course. Lunch will be provided by Harvey County ESA .
Other sponsors that have helped make this school possible are Reliance Energy Partners, Kansas Gas Service, BNSF Railroad, Newell Oil Company and the Newton Fire/EMS Department.
