The Northwestern Ohio Volunteer Firemen’s Association annual Regional Fire School will be held March 12 and 13, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Penta Career Center, 9301 Buck Road, Perrysburg.
This is the first year that the annual Regional Fire School will be held at the Penta Career Center after being located on the campus of BGSU for several decades.
More than 1,300 first responders from Ohio and Michigan regularly attend the Regional Fire School.
This is an opportunity for local first responders to increase their skills and learn the latest information for their safety and the safety of the public. This school is free to first responders.
Some of the classes available to first responders include the handling of medical emergencies, agricultural emergencies, fire and explosions, illegal drug interventions with first responders, firefighter safety classes, disaster response, and numerous outside hands-on trainings.
Many vendors also participate in the school to show first responders the latest tools and equipment available.
