Description:
This Fire Technology Certificate of Achievement prepares individuals for an entrylevel
career in the fire service by providing a foundation of core concepts, practices,
vocabulary, culture, safety and requirements for the fire service. The program
follows the Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) model from the
national Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland and is a component of accreditation
from the State Fire Marshal.
The Fire Technology program is accredited as a regional fire academy by the Office of the State Fire Marshall and the State Board of Fire Services.
Students who have completed the Firefighter I Completion Certificate will have fulfilled a portion of the Fire Technology Certificate of Achievement. For students interested in an Associate degree, a Fire Technology major is also available. More information on the Fire Technology program can be found on the Public Safety Department website.
Most job growth will occur as a result of the need to replace firefighters who promote, retire, stop working for other reasons, or transfer to other occupations. The fire academy reviews and administers a physical agility test. A valid Class C and/or B driver's license and possession of EMT certification may be required for employment.
