State Fire Marshal and His Office
Leader In The Fire Service Then and Now
In this 100th year of service to
the citizens of Minnesota and
especially to the fire service of Minnesota, it is only fitting to inform
you of how formalized fire training started. You guessed it, back in
September of 1919 by
State Fire Marshal George H. Nettelson.
From that historic date as we look forward we see the impact of the
State Fire Marshal’s Office on training and education in Minnesota.
The historic articles and photos will give you a small glimpse of
“The Rest of The Story” and the way it was in the late 1900’s.
