The 135th South Dakota Fire School is coming to Mitchell later this week. South Dakota Fire Fighters Association president Charlie Kludt is expecting around 400 firefighters from around the state to gather at Mitchell Technical Institute starting Thursday.
He says an important topic is keeping firefighters safe from cancer causing materials.
Training includes firefighting techniques, trench rescue and extrication along with classroom time.
Fire School wraps up on Saturday.
