Description

REGISTRATION FOR STATE FIRE SCHOOL IS OPEN


Join us for 2023 South Dakota State Fire School at Lake Area Technical College, this Venue offers many unique opportunities for us.  Lake Area Tech hosts a Med/Fire Rescue program and we are able to use many of their training facilities and props.  The facility is designed for Adult Learning and looks to be an excellent venue for our annual State Fire School.  The College and the City of Watertown are very excited to welcome the South Dakota Fire Service to the Facility and the Community.  We have a wide variety of classes in store both hands-on and classroom based.  This will be an excellent training opportunity.  There are classes for new recruits, more advanced training for the experienced Firefighter as well as leadership classes.  This event is also a great time to network with peers, make new friends, visit with old friends and in general help you provide a better level of service to your community.
