PLEASE NOTE: I am making changes to how the training schedule is posted. There are several reasons the main is simplicity in maintaining multiple websites using one source file. Changes you will see are multiple county training listings with the host site being on top. For example, The Orleans site will have Orleans followed be neighboring counties. The Genesee site will have Genesee training listed first followed by neighboring counties, and so on and so forth. Clicking on any hyperlinked class title will take you to that host county website for full class details, including the correct EMO office to call for scheduling. Another change is any STATE classes will be listed in red, EMS classes in green and all other county offered or other FD offered classes in light blue. I hope these changes will make it easier for you as well as for me.
