Basic Structural Firefighting
our program
If extinguishing fires and rescuing people sounds rewarding, a career as a Firefighter could be for you. Firefighters train hard in an effort to save the lives and property of the citizens they are sworn to serve. Firefighters respond to all types of emergencies such as fires, hazardous materials, trauma, medical, and rescue calls.
Get certified in 12 weeks and gain real hands-on experience. Taught by veteran Firefighters, our program prepares you for real-life challenges using current technology and techniques. This includes realistic emergency simulations using actual firefighting equipment, allowing you to experience what it means to be an Firefighter before achieving certification. We also provide testing assistance for those who need a little extra help.
Our program is one of the fastest in the state. This program runs Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm for 12 weeks straight. These 12 weeks include classroom lectures, hands-on skills review, live fire training, and state test preparation.
We also have an evening class option that take place over 17 weeks Monday-Friday from 6pm-10pm and Saturday’s from 8am-5pm.
