Ranked the Number 1 High School in Wisconsin for 2022, HS2 is a dynamic and exciting partner for our Training Center. Together we work to develop the best possible opportunities for high school students of all grades. Each grade has a unique experience with Lake Country Fire Rescue & our Training Center.
Freshman are trained in CPR and have an 8-day workshop learning about the fire and ems field as a career along with hands on exposure to the skills they can learn should they continue.
Sophomores get to experience Life and the Firehouse which is a combination of 30 hours of ride along time at LCFR and 30 hours of hands-on firefighting skills. Students learn everything from donning, search & rescue, force entry and fire attack.
Juniors get to take Emergency Medical Responder their spring semester. This course isn’t for certification as they are too young, but it serves as a great preparatory course for the EMT class they can take as a Senior.
Seniors spend their year in EMT. This rigorous course is truly designed for the High School student in mind. Our teaching styles, assignments and learning environment is catered to the younger learner. While National Registry testing is not required for the HS credit portion, many do go on to test and become a licensed EMT!
Additional offerings from Lake Country Fire Rescue Training Center include Life Skills 101 where learners discuss and explore various considerations in choosing a career, practical application of communication skills and basic economics of life. Students also have the opportunity to take a course “Foundations of Public Safety” This course explores many areas of emergency services adn public safety including dispatch, K-9 units, School Resource officers, investigations and technological advances in Fire & EMS.
In this experience, students get a taste of what happens at the Fire House as well as learning valuable skills such as: gaining CPR certification, donning firefighting gear, operating the jaws of life, manning the fire hose, and tackling the obstacle course.

Our Arrowhead High School partnership started in 2017. The 2018/2019 school year we ran our first EMT cohort with 12 amazing students that are part of the Health Practicum at AHS.
We offer an introductory workshop for Health Practicum sophomores where they spend 5 days both at AHS and at the Training Center learning about the fire/ems field and get CPR trained.
The AHS Seniors have an opportunity to apply to take the EMT course.
We look forward to continue expanding our partnership with Arrowhead in the future!
Friend of Arrowhead
We have been recognized as one of the 2021 “Friend of Arrowhead”. This award recognizes community members and businesses for their work and support to Arrowhead High school based on their impact to the school, students and/or programs. We are humbled by this recognition and look forward to our continued partnership. Over the years LCFR has participated in annual Career Fairs, PR events, outreach opportunities and EMT for the last 3 years. We are working together to continue developing further opportunities for students. None of which would be possible without the dedicated instructors and line staff to ensure every student has a positive, genuine experience.
