Testimonials
International Falls
I have known and worked with Wade for 25+ years and have found his ARFF training/teaching to be the very best! We use ARFF Specialists’ portable onsite training for all of our ARFF training needs. My family has been in the aviation business since 1948, and I cannot recommend Wade and his organization enough. I would highly recommend and encourage airport entities looking for ARFF training needs to contact ARFF Specialists. He and his staff exhibit utmost professionalism, respect, are always on time, clean up after themselves, and make each and every participant feel important.
