c.  Training and Events Scheduled for September/October/November 2025

The committee reviewed the training and event schedule. 

III.   Old Business

d.     Hazardous Materials Training Update

All scheduled classes have been completed for the season. A significant amount of training funds are still remaining, hoever spending them down before the end of September is not feasible. For the upcoming year, there will be some changes to the payment system for hazmat classes. The intent is that if the fire departments or the students themselves are responsible for a portion of the cost of the class they sign up for, they will be more inclined to attend that class, which is necessary to maintaining the required student to instructor ratios. This should also help us to have the ability to cover the cost of a Full Operations class, possibly annually, should there be a consistent interest in doing so.

Tier 2 reporting for the 2024 reporting year is complete
