SOUTH DAKOTA STATE FIRE SCHOOL

The SDFA is always on the hunt for new instructors, classes and presentation ideas for South Dakota State Fire School.  State School is typically held roughly mid-June (the dates for 2024 were June 13th-15th, 2025 Scheduled dates are June 12th-14th).  For the foreseeable future SD State Fire School will be held at Lake Area Technical College in Watertown, SD.

If you are interested in presenting an idea please fill out the following form as completely as possible.  That form will be forwarded to the SDFA Board members for review.  Should the SDFA Board be interested in the idea a board member will be in contact to obtain further information.  Keep in mind that classes and presentations are typically locked down for the coming year some 9-12 months ahead of the event so logistics can be planned and advertising can begin.  We booked several classes for next year at the conclusion of this years event and our goal is to have most all classes selected or locked in by the end of September.
