Iowa Fire Service Training Bureau

Iowa Fire Service Training Bureau Welcome to the official page of the Iowa Fire Service Training Bureau. FSTB is a bureau of the Iowa Department of Public Safety's State Fire Marshal Division.

This is the official page of the Iowa Fire Service Training Bureau, which is housed in the Iowa State Fire Marshal's Office. The purpose of this page is to provide news and general information about the FSTB to the public. Our mission is to establish credibility in providing quality education, training, certification, and professional consultation to Iowa’s fire service and other emergency responders in a manner that reflects commitment, integrity, and contributes to the reduction of morbidity, mortality, and property loss from fire and other hazards.

The Fire Service Training Bureau (FSTB) is recognized as Iowa’s designated state fire academy, providing quality education, training, national certification, and consultation to Iowa’s fire and emergency services. The FSTB is located at the Camp Dodge Joint Maneuver Training Center in Johnston, Iowa. For a calendar of important training dates, follow this link: https://teamup.com/ksbf5f8ee3145b5dee

New Registration Platform: We are transitioning from PDF brochures to a dedicated web page featuring detailed class listings and descriptions. (See the link above) To streamline registration and payments, we have partnered with Event Management Solutions (EMS), the same company IEMSA uses for their events.

How to Register: Registration will now be completed directly through the EMS system. After selecting your classes, you will be required to pay with a credit card before submitting your registration. Please note that we will no longer send bills or accept checks for payment. Registration will be updated in real-time, so once a class reaches its capacity, it will no longer be available. You will only be able to register for one class per time period.

$50 for 1 day or $100 for both days. The deadline to register is December 30th!
