There is no charge for this class. The class will be held at the NKC Fire Station 1 which is on Howell St. in NKC, just off of Armour down the street from the Dairy Queen / NKC City Hall / PD.

If you would like to attend or have any questions, please feel free to contact Dave Laskowski, N8TMN at dlaskowski@nkc.org or n8tmn@yahoo.com. You can also call Dave during normal business hours at 816.918.7854. I can email you an application for this class and answer any of your questions.

In light of recent events, having the CERT training is well worth the investment of your time!...The training is applicable to most any emergency situation and is a great complement to any ARES training that you already have!
