Firefighter Training
Following your orientation training courses you can be enrolled in Firefighter I and Firefighter II classes. These classes are academically and physically challenging. In addition to being physically fit, students must be prepared to demonstrate proficient skills in English, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Our volunteer firefighters are expected to be well-rounded expert problem solvers; effective communication and social skills are critical in assisting the diverse communities we serve as well as mitigating the technical emergency situations we deal with on a daily basis.
