Responding to Terrorist Incidents in Your Community:

Flammable Liquid Fire Fighting Techniques for Municipal and Rural Firefighters

This special 32 hour course will include training for response to terrorist behavior, sabotage, and damage to "soft targets," including truck and rail terminals, pipeline transfer stations and other industrial facilities in municipal and rural communities.  Instructors are experts chosen for their depth of knowledge, teaching skills, and real-life experience in their fields. 

Tuition, PPE use, travel, lodging, and meals are FREE.  You must apply for a scholarship.  For more information or an application for the scholarship grant, please go to the Reno Fire Science Academy web site.

There are requirements for this program.  The 32 hours for the course do NOT include the travel time.  We have had two members (James Staufenberg and George Myers) that have attended this course, so feel free to ask about the program.   If you would like to attend, please see the Chief.
