Experienced fire practitioners will be present at each event to answer questions and provide guidance. The department encourages interested individuals to register in advance.

The workshops are scheduled for Feb. 20, 2026, in Copiah County and March 6, 2026, in Tate County. Registration links and more information are available on the department’s website for each location.
