This week, we've had the pleasure of being a part of this year's Kentucky State Fire Training School. Firefighters from across the state have joined us for an aircraft firefighting course, where they are learning practical, hands-on skills inside and outside the classroom. Thank you to the Kentucky Fire Commission for making the training center part of this year's State Fire School.

At the end of March, we hosted Lexington Fire Department recruits for an eight-hour class designed to introduce them to ARFF. This class is an important training opportunity for fire departments in areas surrounding airports, especially those responsible for responding to smaller general aviation airports.
