Code of Conduct

Your conduct while attending out-of-town educational programs or other fire service events should be no different than it would be at home or in front of your families. Wherever you travel, the FD license plate, the blue light, the window decal, or the Maltese cross on your jacket or t-shirt identifies you as a member of an honorable and proud profession. Your actions reflect upon not only you as an individual, but your agency department and the fire service as a whole. The public expects our actions to be above reproach — on and off the emergency. We hope that your actions while at Winter Fire School will polish, not tarnish, the fire service’s image in the General Assembly’s home away from home.

Alcohol and Smoking Policy

The University of Missouri is both an alcohol and smoke free campus.
