The Idaho Fire Service Training (FST) program is committed to partner with Idaho fire departments, fire districts, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ’s) to provide Idaho firefighters with quality training and safety practices consistent with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and current National best practices. We also exist to provide verification of requisite knowledge and skills by administration of a nationally recognized third party certification process.
