Complete firefighter training

Pictured above are two Marshall County volunteer firefighters, Mark Bowles (Byhalia F. D.) and Ronnie Barron (Watson F. D.) with MSFA instructor Steven Ashby at the Mississippi State Fire Academy in Jackson, after successfully completing the Certified Volunteer Firefighter Level Two Course. The course is an 80-hour class that volunteer firefighters use to further enhance their firefighting skills. The course consists of NIMS ICS For the Fire Service, NIMS IS-100, NIMS IS-200, NIMS IS-700, Fire Department Communication, Incident Reports, Pre-planning, Fire Prevention and Public Education, Fire Cause Determination, Fire Detection Systems, Fire Suppression Systems, Alarm Systems, and Hazardous Materials to Operational Level. After completing the classroom part locally, the firefighter has written and skill tests given at the Mississippi Fire Academy. “For two nights a week for 20 weeks, this group has worked their private ‘paying’ jobs during the day, then left their family and friends in the evening to complete this course for the benefit of their local fire departments and to better serve their community. They have worked very hard and deserve our congratulations,” says Ron Rhea, Marshall County Fire Service training instructor.
