More than 1,000 students at Nebraska Fire School
Live at Fire School, well we are off and running. The Classes are all set up, the fire school committee, the NSVFA officers, and the fire Marshal’s office is very hard at it, and we are awaiting the 1,000 students to roll in. This committee never ceases to amaze me at how much it can get done in such a short amount of time. The outcome is always a mystery, and I will let you know how it goes when we are done next month.
We went to Kearney and had a pre-conference meeting with the Kearney fire department. All is moving forward there, and it will be a great conference. I want to remind all of you that the conference will be on Oct. 16th through the 18th this year and it will be held at the Holiday Inn in Kearney. Please plan to attend to make sure to tell the officers what direction you would like to proceed.
We will be losing a major asset to the NSVFA, our state lobbyist will be leaving us at the end of this session, Jerry Stimlock has been with us for over 33 years and his attention to this organization will be missed. As I have been here for almost all of those, it will be a big change to not see him at all the functions, but I’m sure Ryan McIntosh and Jerry’s replacement Scott Smith will handle this and keep us as an organization moving forward and going strong.
There will be no trivia this month as no one answered last month’s question! I fear my audience is not reading my article so if you read this article, please send me a message that you did.
As always please stay safe and God bless the Volunteer.
Scott Schremmer,
NSVFA President
