Each year in January, the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy (UFRA) conducts a fire training school in St. George, Utah. Winter Fire School (WFS) is an event that has evolved in scope and size. It is considered to be one of the largest of its type in the nation. Beginning more than 20 years ago with just three formal classes and less than 100 students and instructors combined, WFS has grown to more than 95 classes and over 800 students, instructors, and support staff.
WFS also boasts a large exhibitor show which includes demonstrations with state-of-the-art firefighting, rescue, and emergency medical response equipment. The exhibitor show has grown from just a few local fire equipment dealers to more than 70 exhibitors representing major fire, rescue, safety, and EMS equipment sales and service companies from throughout the United States.
Winter Fire School will be held January 23-24, 2026

Registration will reopen Nov. 10th at 0900. Everyone will need to register again.
You may be aware that we encountered technical difficulties with our 3rd party registration system, Cvent, when registration opened on Nov. 3rd at 0900. While some were able to submit registration, because of the technical difficulties, it has been identified that registrations were not processed or recorded accurately.
Therefore, Cvent has determined a registration re-launch is necessary in order to accurately collect registrations. We will relaunch WFS registration on Monday, November 10th at 0900 MST. Everyone will need to register again.
For those of you that were charged, our finance team will be working on refunding each of you within 3-5 business days.
Again, we apologize for this inconvenience and are looking forward to a great Winter Fire School.
Sincerely,
UFRA
