The 3rd Annual Sissonville Fire & Rescue School will be held March 6th, 7th & 8th and 13th, 14th & 15th , 2009. Next year’s fire school promises to be bigger and better than the past two (2) years with new classes and hands-on training classes that will challenge even the most experienced first responders.
