WNEA will waive all registration fees for 2022. Leadership has secured grant funding to assist with operations this year. Again, this year no registration.
In 2022 the Academy will operate Saturday and Sunday. Friday evening is available for check in.
Due to dry conditions and receptive fuels, there is a potential we will not perform live fire in 2022. Leadership is currently securing areas for live fire exercises in various locations. This year we will focus on fire suppression, aerial support and suppression, water handling and structure triage if needed. We will incorporate ignition operations and fire suppression when available.
By registering and participating in the Academy, the sponsor agency supports the individual and all equipment dedicated to the Academy. With the understanding there is always risk associated with live fire, individuals accept and hold harmless the Gering Fire Department and all representatives managing the Academy. Sponsoring agency agrees to cover individuals and equipment with appropriate insurances and will not hold Gering Fire Department or representatives liable for any damages or injuries that have occurred prior, during or after the Academy. By registering, the sponsoring agency and individual participating agrees to these terms.
