On behalf of the Tomahawk Fire and Rescue School, we are pleased to announce our 22nd annual school. As always there will be two full days of training activities with a vendor display Saturday night.

You may have heard that there have been some changes made at the school. These changes have resulted in new courses and a wider instructor base with the help of Northeastern Technical College, Chippewa Valley Fire Protection District, Nicolet Technical College, FIRE LLC, International Association of Arson Investigators, FirePro, Spirit of Marshfield, County Rescue, Ropes and Rescue, as well as other vendors. We have an excellent group of instructors for the fire school that come from fire departments and vendors all over the United States. As always, we attempt to provide the best quality instruction possible for our students.

Equipment and supplies for the school are donated by different companies and institutions in Wisconsin and the surrounding states. 5 Alarm Fire, FirePro, Angus, Ansul, Chippewa Fire Protection District, County Rescue Star Team, Elkhart Brass, Hilgy’s LP Gas, International Association of Arson Investigators, General Casualty Insurance Company, Wausau Paper Company, Inc., MSA, Public Safety Marketing, Ropes & Rescue, Ingman’s Service, W.S. Darley, J & B Fabrication, Scott, Griptech, Amkus, Lukas, Hurst, TNT, Genisis, Mac’s Fire & Safety, IFT Consultants, Spirit of Marshfield, Packaging Corporation of America, Harley Davidson Co., Inc., Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Wisconsin Department of Commerce, Wisconsin Public Defense, Wisconsin State Patrol, United States Coast Guard and others contribute and participate.

There will be an Apparatus and Equipment Expo on Saturday afternoon and evening at the Sara Park Community Center. Manufacturer and suppliers of fire service and safety equipment will have their latest products on display. In addition to the expo, an evening meal (with proceeds going to the local Boy Scout Troop #548) will be available plus music, games, prizes, and refreshments throughout the evening.

Those attending the two-day classes will need to attend both days. The other classes are single day classes in which the attendee may participate in one course each day. Class sizes will be limited and will be filled in the order of returned registration and payment. No students will be registered prior to receiving payment.

Coffee and rolls will be served during registration, and a cold lunch will be provided for all participants on both days. All participants completing an evaluation form will receive a gift. Certificates through The Tomahawk Fire and Rescue School with CEU hours will be issued to each student that completes a course.

Camping again be available near the Sara Park Community Center. Please see the Tomahawk Chamber of Commerce website for more information. Showers and campfire rings are available on location.

Please join us for a weekend of excellent training and great socializing with fellow emergency service members.
