"I’ve had the privilege of completing Fire Officer I, II, III and IV through the State Fire School program at BGSU. Each of these courses build upon the prior to prepare fire service leaders to address the ever-changing needs of their organization and community. The instructional format of the Fire Officer IV course allows for much interaction and provides opportunity to learn from the instructors (facilitators) and students alike. This is what the future of adult education looks like."
