WVU Extension Service encourages firefighters, first responders to attend West Virginia Weekend at the National Fire Academy.
Each year, firefighters, first responders and other emergency personnel respond to thousands of emergencies, national disasters and other incidents. WVU Extension Fire Service continues to provide outreach, education and training opportunities to these professionals to ensure they are prepared to handle these difficult situations.
The National Fire Academy (NFA) will host West Virginia firefighters and emergency personnel on May 4-5, 2019, in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Dubbed “West Virginia Weekend,” the two-day academy will feature courses on training operations in small departments; strategy and tactics for initial company operations; decision-making for initial company operations; and fire investigation. WVU Extension Fire Service assists NFA with recruiting attendees and coordinates registration for the event.
