Our Island CERT program will be holding a new training session in March, beginning Friday March 19.

CERT training promotes a partnering effort between emergency services - Vashon Island Fire Rescue (VIFR) - and the people that they serve. The goal is for emergency personnel to train community members in basic response skills. CERT members are then integrated into the emergency response capability for their area.

19-March for 8 consecutive Fridays, from 6 to 10pm. And one Saturday, May 1st, 8am - 4pm.

This training is offered at no-cost to the participant.
