More than 350 firefighters will arrive at Bowling Green State University to sharpen their skills in technical rescue, practice ventilation and search in vacant buildings, recognize and preserve arson scenarios, perfect their fire officer skills and learn life-saving techniques to save themselves or fellow firefighters as part of the weeklong State Fire School scheduled May 20-24.
“As always, State Fire School week is an exciting time for this community and we pride ourselves on providing the most up-to-date training in this fast-paced and dangerous environment,” said Kerry Fisher, program director of State Fire School in the College of Arts and Sciences.
State Fire School has been under the direction of BGSU since 1974.
“Our unique training environment gives students the opportunity to network with first responders from all over Ohio and learn from the best instructors in the country,” Fisher said.
