Guest Instructor’s Memorial
Since 1930, the Texas Fire Training School has provided educational opportunities for firefighters and first responders worldwide.
The Guest Instructors’ Memorial stands as a tribute to those volunteer instructors who have given to others the knowledge and skills they themselves spent a lifetime learning.
Each year, during the summer annual fire training schools, memorial services are held to honor those on the wall as well as guest instructors whose names will be added for the year.
A monetary donation can be made in memory of a guest instructor or any individual in lieu of flowers. Please indicate the name of the honoree and the family’s address. You will receive a “thank you” card and the individual’s family will be notified of your generous act.
