Career Online Training is Fired Up

One local Georgia fire department is planning to use career online training for its employees. Visit http://www.proassisting.com/ee to learn more.

The Peachtree City Fire Department recently announced that it will offer online training courses for its 142 career and volunteer personnel. The department won approval from the City Council to shift $11,261 from other training programs under this year's budget to fund the online training.

That funding came as a result of the elimination of out-of-town training for water rescue, as the city made a deal with Fayette County and the training now takes place at Lake Horton, which is located nearby. That initiative saved the department $4,736, with the remainder of the funding coming from $6,525 that was saved from training on the department's software program.
