"Message from the Editor"

     As we approach our 55th Annual Training Conference, being only three weeks away, we are at near capacity. There are only a few seats still available.

    The Awards Luncheon on May 23rd is completely full. Congratulations to everyone who will be receiving awards this year. Thank you to all the agencies who registered as soon as the notifications were received. There were several recipient agencies that waited too long and had to be turned away. Each year I send email notifications regarding the amount of room available and warning everyone to register early. But there are always a few that ignore the emails. This year, because of the limited venue seating available, the warning of being completely sold out came true.

    There are still a few seats available for the July “DIAP” training being held on July 10-12th. Don’t lose out by waiting too long to sign-up for this free training.

   This week we are opening registration to our Basic “TNT” Training Class #15 which is being held September 6, 9-13 at the Middlesex County Fire Academy in Sayreville, NJ. This has limited availability and we are opening with 11 seats already being filled by individuals who were on the Class #14 waitlist. Again, don’t wait too long to register.

   There will be an Advanced “TNT” Class #2 being offered in November. The requirements to attend this class is that you must have attended either: Top Gun, Unit, or Basic “TNT” schools prior to registering.

    Lastly, I wish to thank all those agencies and individuals who take advantage of our trainings and for your continued support.
