Overview of the Citizens Fire Academy
Designed for adults to learn about how the fire department is organized and operates, the Citizens Fire Academy is open to persons who meet the minimum requirements. The CFA will meet one night a week for several weeks with graduation being held on the final evening.
Additional practical exercises may be available, depending on group interest and availability. Each night, CFA participants learn about different aspects of the fire department, ranging from emergency medical services to special rescue operations. This is not a certification course.
Course Dates and Times: Starting September 19th, 2019
Class Day and Times: Thursdays from 7:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. (classes last between one and three hours, depending on the topic). There will also be one Saturday morning class scheduled for an opportunity to fight a LIVE fire at a training facility. Attendance is critical (the information learned at CFA will be utilized during live-fire operations)
Location: Fire Department Training Room
