Free Tanker Shuttle Training
Date: Monday, March 08, 2010
 
All
Below is a flyer about some water shuttle training to be held at the Marion County Lake, Marion, Kansas,  17 and 18 April 2010.
 
This training is being conducted by Got Big Water, from Westminster, Maryland.  You can read more about this company at their web site www.gotbigwater.com 
 
Some back ground on this training.  A lot of what was used in the Lincolnville, Lost Springs and Centre High School area to lower out ISO rating came from the founder of this company.  He has since passed but his brother has taken on the training mission.
This training is being made available at no cost, through a portion of the Fire Act Grant that was received by MCFD5 (Lincolnville FD). 
 
We are working getting lunch provided but are not sure at this time.  We are also planning on contacting some venders to let them know of the training class. If we cannot have lunch provided there are plenty of places in the city of Marion to get lunch.
 
As the flyer states this will be a 2 day training event with both class room and practical application. 
 
We are going to try to limit the class size to 100.  Because of this in county personnel will have first shot at the training.  I would like all Marion County departments to notify me by email of how many slots, with names if possible, that you will need for the class. I will need this information no later than the 31st of March. 
 
On 1 April 2010 the training will open up to any and all personnel both inside and outside of the county on a 1st come basis.
 
Personnel wishing to sign-up for the class need to email me at the email address below to secure a place in the class. Again this is on a 1st come basis. Enrollment will close on 14 April.  At this time if there are any slots left I will have it posted again on the KSFFA web site.  If the class fills up before the deadline I will also post that on the KSFFA web site.
 
If you wish to bring apparatus or equipment please let us know in your email on enrollment.  We will need tankers, pumpers, and floating pumps.  Any and all apparatus and equipment is welcome.
 
To enroll we will need the following information; Name, Address, Department, Contact phone number, and /or contact email address.  Send this information to;

Thank you
 
Respectfully
