Schedule
You can find out about the currently scheduled training on the Calendar.
Typically we have a 1.5 to 2.5 hour training session on the first Tuesday of each month from 19:00 to 21:30 at the fire hall. Usually there is a daytime training event once a month on a weekend.
Each year in December, we plan the schedule for the coming year.
Organizers
Training is overseen and organized by the Training Committee.
