93rd Annual State Fire School

On behalf of the Fire Service Training Bureau staff, I extend to you a special welcome to our 93rd Annual State
Fire School. This annual event includes classroom sessions, hands-on training, and our Rescue Skills Weekend.

We thank you for taking this opportunity to learn from some of the best instructors in Iowa, and across the
nation. You are also invited to visit with the many exhibitors showcasing a variety of emergency services
products and equipment.

This past year has brought a time for change and restructuring in our Certification program, while striving
to achieve our mission of quality training and education for Iowa’s fire and emergency services. We
continue to implement positive changes that will improve the services we provide.

We are committed to Iowa’s fire service and first responders and will continue striving to better
support you in your mission to protect lives and property in our state. We look forward to
seeing you here in Ames as you participate in the valuable learning experience of the
Annual State Fire School.

Kyle Gorsh, Acting Bureau Chief
