Event Description |
The Arizona State Fire School is brought to you through the volunteer efforts and commitment of the Arizona State Fire Training Committee (ASFTC). Since the first Fire School in 1973, the goal has been to improve the safety of Arizona's firefighters by offering high quality training. Well trained and knowledgeable firefighters can better protect the citizens of their respective communities from the many hazards of daily life.
Each year, the State Fire School continues the work of the ASFTC in meeting this goal. From Basic Skills Training, Fire Prevention & Investigation, to Fire Leadership, the State Fire School provides education in the skills and knowledge a modern firefighter needs to be effective while remaining safe.
The State Fire School brings the Arizona Fire Service together, not only to educate, but to celebrate our history and recognize our members, past and present, whose work and vision have created today's fire service.
