As the new president of the San Diego County Training Officers Association (SDCTOA), I would like to welcome all the firefighters in San Diego County. SDCTOA is at a pivotal point of change. Almost 30 years ago, our objective was to hold meetings and provide presentations on current topics and issues important to the fire service not only on a regional level, but also on a state and national level. Through the years, that focus changed to providing a range of different rescue systems classes that were needed and popular throughout the region. The fire service is always changing and we are changing with it. Once again, we will be focusing on providing the best presentations on current topics and issues in the fire service today.
Mission Statement:
Our mission is to provide sound fire training and education through a medium that allows for the exchange of information and ideas among not only fire training officers, but the fire service community as a whole. I want to encourage all the county fire service agencies and their personnel to be represented in SDCTOA by active membership regardless of rank. This association is about helping all firefighters develop their craft to the highest possible standards.
So remember to always train as if you’re life depends on it, because it does!
Fraternally,
Joe Bunn
President
San Diego County Training Officers Association
