Training remains one of the top priorities at District 1 and our commitment is evident where it counts; our budget. Allocations for training related expenses have increased every year for the last three years resulting in a more trained and certified work force. In that time, our responders have capitalized on offerings in subjects including Wildland Urban Interface Firefighting, Firefighter Proficiency, Fire Officer Development, Emergency Medical Services, Technical Rescue, the National Incident Management System, Hazardous Materials, Health & Safety, Civil Unrest, and many others.
In the coming months and years, District 1 will continue to pursue training goals established through deliberate succession planning. Achieving the highest degree of proficiency is the level of service our customers deserve.
When asked; How critical District 1’s training and education programs are, Chief Knutson responds...
"The training and education programs offered by Fire District 1 are essential for several reasons. The safety of our communities’ residents and emergency personnel is the top priority. For citizens to feel confident that our staff will safely handle any incident for both the citizens and KCFD1 personnel, we must provide EMS and Fire Training. Training and its associated efforts are to provide personnel with the best preparatory knowledge, skills, and abilities to provide compassion and professional care to our citizens and visitors. Furthermore, the effectives our personnel and emergency scene operations will be enhanced through training and education."
