The Marshfield Fire and Rescue Department, in partnership with Mid-State Technical College, hosted a partnership celebration at the Marshfield Fire and Rescue Training Center located at 2615 South Vine Avenue.
The event was attended by many contributors, collaborators and champions of the project, including Marshfield Fire and Rescue leadership, city officials, college officials and local legislators.
The new partnership is a result of a ten-year collaborative agreement signed in February 2021 between the City of Marshfield, the Marshfield Fire and Rescue Department and Mid-State Technical College to expand local and regional training offerings in fire protection and emergency services.
The enhancements made to the site over the next ten years will allow for training to occur closer to regional career and volunteer fire departments, greatly increasing convenience and access for trainees in the central Wisconsin region and producing savings in travel costs and time commitment.
