The 11th Upper Ohio Valley Fire & Rescue School has come and gone and was another great success. The UOVFRS committee would like to thank all of the students, instructors, staff, and vendors for making the 2009 Rescue School the best yet! This year's school drew approximately 470 students, with the total participants, including staff, instructors and vendors, being nearly 600 attendee's. We would also like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding with us for all of the changes in the school operations.
The Upper Ohio Valley Fire & Rescue School would like to recognize a few organizations that helped with the 2009 UOVFRS and if anybody was overlooked, please accept our apologies for it was not intentional.
We would like to thank the Franklin Community VFD for all their hard work operating the concession stand and serving some of the best food around. We would also like to thank the Wellsburg VFD for the another great Hospitality Night. If you missed it, we recommend you don't next year!
We would like to thank the following fire departments for the use of there apparatus, equipment and personnel for the weekend. If it was not for their assistance the school would not be possible:
Beech Bottom VFD
Bethany VFD
Follansbee VFD

Windsor Heights VFD
In closing, the UOVFRS has always and will always strive to provide the most realistic and quality training available and we are always looking for ways to improve.
