More than 400 firefighters will be spending the weekend in Corbin for the Southeastern Kentucky Firefighters Association’s 43rd Annual Fall Fire School.
Corbin Firefighter Eric Philpot, one of the event organizers, said that firefighters from across the state and as far away as North Carolina, would be coming to the area for the classroom and hands-on classes required to retain their certification.
“We have 330 firefighters that have pre-registered,” Philpot said Monday. “We are expecting another 100 on top of that.”
