About the NFA Florida State Weekend
The 2013 National Fire Academy Florida State Weekend Training is now set for April 13 & 14, 2013. Our travel day to the NFA is Friday, April 12, 2013.
This year, we have 30 seats available nd we will be sharing this weekend at NFA with firefighters from the State of Maine. This State Weekend offers a great networking and training opportunity for Florida’s firefighters and fire officers; both career and volunteer.
The NFA does not charge students to attend the Florida State Weekend Training Course! In addition, the NFA will provide student lodging as well as transportation from / to Baltimore-Washington Airport (BWI) at no cost to the student.
The only expenses the student will incur are travel to / from the National Fire Academy (or BWI Airport) and the student's meal expense (as well as any incidental expenses).
Your training experience at the historical National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland will surely be a unique experience.
