Idaho Fire Service Training

A place to get information about changes to the FST program and give feedback so we know how to best We are IFSAC accredited.

FST is a program for training and certifying Idaho firefighters. This page was created so we can make quick, unofficial announcements and reach a larger number of our constituency. There are several changes in the works and we want to hear from you what's working and what isn't.

South County Fire Conference June 5-7, 2026 in Montpelier/ Bear Lake County. 61 Firefighters from 14 Idaho fire agencies trained to enhance their skills. They will be better equipped to serve the needs of their communities. 11 FST instructors and instructors from Idaho State Fire Marshal's Office and Idaho Department of Lands also taught classes at the conference. Bear Lake community support was amazing!
