The department is now a participating member in the International Academy of Public Safety (IAPS) on-line training program. Members can go to http://lms.iapsonline.com and get web-based training in a variety of fire and rescue topics. Each department member has been assigned a username (first letter of your first name followed by your last name) and password (last 4 digits of your social security number). Once you complete a class you can take a test on-line, print a certificate of completion and turn this in for training credit. If anyone has difficulty logging in to the site please contact Amy Edwards for assistance.
Per request, here is a link to our Membership Requirements and Benefits Handbook.
