In a recent meeting of the state’s fire chiefs, LSU Fire and Emergency Training Institute Director Jeff Gleason was honored by having the gathering dedicated to his personal efforts in firefighter education in the state of Louisiana. LSU FETI is Louisiana’s “firefighter college” training over 20000 firefighters per year and certifying responders in disciplines ranging from emergency medicine to chief officer leadership. Gleason acknowledged the honor by recognizing the work of his institute and the work of those who have come before him.
“This award is an honor not just for me, but for all of the LSU Fire and Emergency Training Institute. I am blessed to have some pretty good people on my staff- and some pretty-good people who paved the way before me. I am also blessed that Louisiana has a fire service that understands the need for state fire training and supports our efforts.”
The gathering was held in April in Opelousas and attracted over 150 volunteer and professional chiefs.
