The Wisconsin Society of Fire Service Instructors (WSFSI) was formed in 1962 to serve the needs of fire instructors in our State. Now renamed Wisconsin Society of Emergency Services Instructors (WSESI),
the Society assists local instructors through the exchange of ideas, dissemination of information, and the presentation of seminars and conferences. All of this is geared toward helping fire and emergency services instructors in their personal development and assisting them in bringing quality education and programs to their own agencies.
Please tour our site and learn more about how WSESI can serve all of your instructional needs. Your questions and comments are always welcome.

WISCONSIN FIRE EMS LEGISLATIVE LEADERSHIP COALITION (WFELLC)
For over a year and a half, the WFELLC has been on an extended hiatus due firstly to a transition in leadership, followed by suspension of activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A renewal in interest regarding legislation affecting the fire and EMS services has revived the Coalition, with the Professional Firefighters of Wisconsin (PFFW) taking on the role of host and contact agency.
The WFELLC held its meeting in Madison on Wednesday, September 15, with WSESI being represented by Past President Jim Flanagan. Some of the proposed measures being discussed:
• A bill (in draft) to bring Workmen’s Compensation eligibility for EMS personnel in line with that of firefighters and law enforcement officers
• Ideas for federal grants available under CARES Act and American Rescue Plan for pandemic relief of EMS service providers
• Requested initiatives to address staffing and funding crises in EMS statewide.
The Coalition plans to meet again in October. Any WSESI member who wishes to become involved in the activities of the WFELLC, please contact President Jim Austad, or Coalition delegates Kevin Gerarden or Jim Flanagan.
Thanks!
