MU Fire and Rescue Training Institute (FRTI)

Annual events

FRTI statewide survey

The University of Missouri Fire and Rescue Training Institute (MU FRTI) is conducting a statewide survey to assess the current training needs of Missouri’s fire service. The results will guide the development of targeted training initiatives and allow comparison of trends since the 2017 survey. We request one response per department, ideally reflecting the perspective of its leadership. All individual and departmental information will remain confidential and reported only in aggregate. Findings will enable the development of a comprehensive report to establish benchmarks and set priorities for future training programs. Your organizations participation is critical to ensuring an accurate assessment and effective planning for Missouri’s fire service. The survey is estimated to take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. You must complete the survey in a single session.
