Training

Johnny Colson, Training Chief

The primary focus of the Training Section is to ensure that the Department is fully capable in providing all types of emergency response—preparation and planning are essential in ensuring a safe, efficient, and effective conclusion to an emergency event.

The Training Section has multiple goals and objectives that are used to meet internal and external training needs and requirements. These requirements take a two-fold approach; one is to meet the department expectations for fire training on a per shift basis and the second is to ensure that each EMT and Paramedic employed by the Department is provided with the necessary continuing education credits for bi-annual recertification.
