WNEA will waive all registration fees for 2021. Leadership has secured grant funding to assist with operations this year. Again, this year no registration.

In 2021 the Academy will operate Saturday through Monday. The exercise will transition from a Type 3 fire to a Type 4 fire on Monday. Participants are allowed to register for any or all three days. We are not requiring participating during the entire academy.

We will focus on fire suppression, ignition operations, aerial support from various types of aircraft, water handling and structure protection/triage if needed. Participants will be placed in various positions to meet the needs of the participant and the Academy.

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.
