Kindersley to Host Major Event for Firefighters
This fall, Kindersley is set to host a major event for firefighters from all over Saskatchewan. Over 300 firefighter students and 40 instructors will gather for the SVFFA Fall School, making it a busy and exciting time for the town.
To accommodate everyone, organizers have secured 400 hotel rooms and have booked the entire Kindersley Composite School (KCS) High School for classroom sessions. It’s going to be a full house!
The training will take place at several locations, notably the Kindersley Fire Hall, which is known for having some of the best indoor training areas in the province. The Kindersley Fire Training Grounds will also play a crucial role, featuring multiple structures and vehicles, as well as Class A and Class B fire areas designed for a wide range of training scenarios.
The Curling Club Rink will serve as the venue for the opening ceremonies, banquet, and all other meals. It will also host a trade show showcasing the latest in firefighter equipment.
Looking back, the 2024 Spring Fire School in North Battleford offered firefighters valuable courses such as Vehicle Fire Fighting, Vehicle Extrication, Ground Ladders/Ropes & Knots, and Wildland Fire Fighting.
This upcoming Fall School in Kindersley aims to build on that success, offering more valuable training and hands-on experience for Saskatchewan’s volunteer firefighters.
