Use of Facilities:

ISFI intends to schedule classes at the RTC on a regular basis. These will be announced throughout the area. (Some will be at no cost, and others will have a modest fee).

Some of the facilities are available for use by area fire departments for their own drills. Arrangements must be scheduled through IFSI (Prior T-T-T training in proper use of the facilities is required).

The facilities are not available for use by organizations which are charging for classes, without prior approval by IFSI.
