Employee Education and Qualifications
It is with a great deal of pride that we can provide the citizens of Bay Louis with a list of their firefighters and experience hours. It reinforces our message to the public that we are well qualified. This training certainly qualifies as a component of reaching our mission. Even with these training hours, our daily work plan includes new and refresher course training each day.

 All of this information is based on what I was supplied by the firefighters and is current as 0f April 2003
