The Fire Training Division of Bullhead Fire is managed by Division Chief Bill Kinsey.  Chief Kinsey oversees all monthly fire-related training and educational activities at Bullhead Fire as well as supervising the Bullhead Fire Academy and coordinating fire service classes and degree programs at Mohave Community College.

A monthly training calendar is published at the first of each month detailing all scheduled training activities for the month for each shift and for all the specialty rescue teams such as haz-mat, rope, dive, and boat ops. In addition, Chief Kinsey coordinates attendance at outside seminars, the National Fire Academy classes, Mohave Community College seminars, State Fire training workshops, State Fire training committee, Arizona Wildlife Academy, and the annual Arizona State Fire School.

The Emergency Medical Services Division is managed by EMS Officer Kimi Locke.  The EMS Division oversees all the medical training and certification of our Paramedics and EMT's, orders and inventories the department medical supplies, and is responsible for department compliance with all State and Federal regulations regarding medical services.

Training and education are top priorities at the Bullhead City Fire Department.   Some type of training activity is conducted nearly every day of the week.
