We have several PFLSE and Fire Inspector certification classes through the end of the year. Dates and locations can be found at the end of the report, and registration is available on our website.

 

Due to the popularity of one of our conference speakers, Brene’ Duggins, the IFIA will be holding a TWO-DAY class with Brene’. It will be Elevate Your Programs: A Hands-On Workshop for Interactive Learning

 

To increase your CRR and public education efforts, this two-day, hands-on workshop will provide you with the tools and techniques to create engaging, interactive learning experiences that captivates participants and maximizes knowledge retention.

 

Bring your device and get ready to:

• Experience a variety of digital and technology-free interactive activities from the participant's perspective.

• Learn how to design and implement these activities within your current programs.

• Build your own interactive lesson, combining digital and technology-free approaches.

• Walk away with a practical toolkit of ready-to-use activities and the confidence to create more.

 

The class will be on July 22nd and 23rd, from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm, at the Plainfield Fire Dist. 23748 W 135th St, Plainfield, IL. Registration information is available on our website.

 

We can really use your help at the State Fair on August 17th. Tent hours are from 10 – 4, but if you are able to just part of that, it makes a big difference. Bring the family, and spend some time visiting the Fair with them. The IFIA is able to provide gate and parking passes for those who participate. Just email the office and indicate how many will be attending.

 

Even though we are at the end of the school year, the OSFM is offering multiple public school inspection classes, the locations and registration information can be found at Upcoming Public School Inspection Classes.

 

The OSFM is also offering several Aboveground Storage Tank classes. Details on those classes can be found on the OSFM event page at https://sfm.illinois.gov/events.html
