IFSAC TESTING
As many of you know, the State Fire School Committee strives to release the brochure and open registration for State Fire School each year in early April. However, due to current events involving COVID-19, we are unable to adhere to the April 1st release date for 2020. We diligently keep an eye on situations as they are unfolding and hope to be able to release more information on fire school after the middle of April.
This is a fluid situation and we will keep you updated as we are able to.
We appreciate your continued patience and flexibility.
ATTENTION!!
At this time, following recommendations from KyEM and Kentucky Office of Homeland Security, SFRT will be suspending all face-to-face training. Once we resume training, I will contact each of you that had training scheduled to find a new date/time for that training.
Effective immediately, all Kentucky Junior Firefighters are disallowed from making runs during the COVID19 outbreak.
Once this ban is lifted we will notify departments. Until then, all Juniors MUST cease participation in active run responses.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time.
Due to the recommendations amid the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak, State Fire Rescue Training has implemented some changes to our daily operations. Effective Monday March 16th, through March 29th, the following changes will be in effect:
-All SFRT participation at weekend fire schools, recruit weeks, large accredited certification testing sessions, and Acadis trainings will be cancelled.
-There shall be no classes held by SFRT with greater than 25 students.
-For any fire department hosting training during this period, hand washing shall be made available, and there shall be enough space for each attendee to spread out three feet in all directions.
-The SFRT office will be closed to the public. Please contact the Area Coordinator via phone or electronic means with any questions.
Remember, follow the precautions being recommended through social distancing, and be a good neighbor for everyone in our communities by setting a positive example through this difficult time.
