PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — About 400 South Dakota firefighters are expected to attend the annual state fire school in Pierre this week.

The firefighters will choose from 26 classes in the training event that begins Thursday with an opening ceremony and runs through Saturday.

Fire Marshal Paul Merriman says this year’s classes range “from firefighter tactics and strategies to department leadership and everything in between.” The event will also include a trade show and a parade.

The classes will take place at Pierre Riggs High School. The fire school is hosted by the Pierre Volunteer Fire Department with the assistance of the South Dakota Firefighters Association, the South Dakota Firefighters Auxiliary and the South Dakota State Fire Marshal’s Office.
