We are pleased to announce our first official “Open Enrollment” class in Illinois. The class will be an 8 hour, hands-on forcible entry class. The dates are November 7th and 8th at Morris, IL FD’s Station #2.
Please feel free to pass the information and/or the flier to your mutual aid associations, your training division, email groups, hang it up in the firehouse or forward it to other interested parties. There are only 40 seats available per day so it should book up pretty quick. All of the information for the class, the requirements and the payment information are located on the flier (at the link below). If we have enough interest, I am going to shoot for a 3rd day of training on the 9th.
A “downloadable” copy will be available on our website (http://brotherhoodinstructors. com) in the “Upcoming Classes” area of the website later on this week. The full class description is located on our “Training Classes” page. We have a great staff of instructors from many diverse community make-ups, a large supply of props and simulators. All of these factors should make this one of the best forcible entry classes on the market.
Please contact me with any questions that you may have via email at ndemarse@brotherhoodinstructors.com.
Thank you for your time and we hope to see everyone there.
