Welcome to the East Texas District Website Appearently, and completely unknown to us, the registration of our original Domain Name that we've held since 1998 had expired. Our domain registration was for ten years, but evidentally there was a technical glitch...
Along comes these neat automated Internet surfing software packages to scoop it up and then a "ghost company" holds it ransome for $1000.00 in hopes of our desperate attempts to purchase it back. NOT !!
So, a temporary new Internet home it is!!

Area Schools
Area Schools are conducted in conjunction with local fire departments. In most cases, the local fire department provides the necessary facilities and equipment while the fire department and guest instructors conduct the course. Area Schools specialize in a variety of subjects such as firefighting, rescue, hazardous materials, officer-leadership development, fire prevention and others. Programs conducted in the Area Schools provide emergency service personnel and departments the opportunity to keep abreast of new developments and gain experience in various subjects in their local area.
For more information about registration, clothing requirements, meals, housing and check-in, please visit, Area Schools Page and see the appropriate PDF file for the specific Area School in which you are interested.
