In addition to this formalized training our fire rescue team meets at least once a month to go over any further training or take any refresher courses needed to keep our certifications up-to-date. I hope this paper proves that I have received the training and possess the practical experience, to qualify for the three hours of credit awarded for taking the class, Introduction to Fire Science along with three more hours of credit awarded for taking the class, Industrial Fire Protection, at Central Missouri State University. If you feel that I deserve anymore credit hours under the topic of Fire Science, I would appreciate any extra credits I can get at this time.
