This fall's class of students at the COTR Kimberley Fire Department Fire Training Academy

The 2014 College of the Rockies Fire Training Academy is in full swing, so expect to see several uniformed individuals running around Kimberley. They are receiving training provided in a partnership between the College of the Rockies and the Kimberley Fire Department. The unique partnership provides for a sharing of resources, knowledge and revenue that benefits both the College of the Rockies and the City of Kimberley. The Kimberley Fire Training program has provided nearly $580,000 in city revenue over a 10-year period and provides training for other fire departments and industrial clients in addition to the College of the Rockies partnership.
