Meet Our Cadre

At Tri-State Fire Training, our instructors bring a genuine passion for the job. With years of experience in both volunteer and career emergency services, they’ve faced the challenges, made the calls, and learned the lessons that shape the fire service. They’re here to share that knowledge in a way that’s practical, engaging, and relatable. Whether in the classroom or on the training ground, our instructors are committed to helping firefighters grow, improve, and stay connected to the craft.

We’ve begun the process of expanding our cadre of instructors. In the near future, we’ll be adding talented members to help with both lectures and hands-on training. Positions we’ll be looking to fill include Lead Instructor, Assistant Instructor, and Logistics Crew. Exciting things ahead as we continue to build!
