The 14th Annual Fall Fire School was held on August 22, at the Galesburg Regional Fire Training Center with 125 firefighters attending from 22 area fire departments.
This year, 5 classes were offered: Fire Behavior and Smoke (classroom), Fire Ground Search and Rescue (hands-on), REHAB Heat Stress Class (classroom), Essentials (hands-on) and NIMS, 100 & 200 (classroom).
The largest attended class was Fire Behavior and Smoke, with 47 students.
The 2009 Fire School was especially challenging this year because the state of Illinois cut the funding for the Cornerstone program. In spite of this, the efforts and financial support of our sponsors made this year's Fire School a success.
