Welcome to the VDFP Podcast. In this episode, we turn our focus to the Wise Regional Fire School in Southwest Virginia examining the challenges of delivering high-quality education in geographically isolated areas, the importance of train-the-trainer programs, and how partnerships across regions strengthen the entire fire service. You'll hear the perspectives of instructors and students alike on the impact of these programs—not just on their own departments, but on fire service readiness throughout Virginia. If you're committed to fire service excellence, community safety, and continuous learning, this conversation is not to be missed.
