Welcome to the Central Iowa Training Association!

 

After careful consideration the Central Iowa Training Board of Directors and the CITA-Kirkwood Fire School Committee want to inform you that we have made the difficult decision to discontinue fire school for 2025.

Over the past 38 years, this fire school met the needs and filled the voids of training for both those in our region and those that traveled from outside of our region. This change comes because of the increasing availability of training programs that can be delivered directly to your fire station or county meetings. These tailored training opportunities provide greater flexibility and allow you to stay in your community to meet the needs of your citizens.  Additionally, we have struggled with the increasing complexity of finding instructors, new and advanced training courses and equipment logistics.

Thank you for your understanding and dedication to the safety and well-being of your communities.
