I could have sworn a kid that lives out by me is going to Mizzou to get a fire science degree. I could have misunderstood him, and i really don't know him that well, i just run into him alot when i do field training out in new melle.
I know the college was in/near columbia though, and i'm pretty sure it was mizzou.
I've looked into MU (I'm a student there), I believe the fire and rescue school they have is geared toward continued education for career fire fighters.
