Training Division Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Division of Training to provide comprehensive training and educational programs for all fire department personnel in order to create and maintain a competent and professional work force needed to support and accomplish the mission of the Ashland City Fire Department.

The Training Division is responsible for ensuring that every department member stay current with all mandated training as well as any other specialty training as a result of equipment or specific rescue scenarios. Most required training courses consist of 1-3 hours of self paced on-line classroom time in addition to any necessary hands-on training. Hands-on classes are scheduled on the first Tuesday of each month and are in conjunction with the on-line training from the previous months. Additional hands-on training courses will be scheduled on weekend days to meet the requirements of 8 or 16 hour mandates.
