Firefighter Introductory training class Overview
Minimum class size will be 12, maximum size will be 24. It will cost $125.00 per person. The following subjects were requested to be delivered to introduce the new firefighter to the industry. It will certify them on PPE / SCBA / Safety Module and we will add a few subjects to make them more resourceful on the training and fireground. THE EXTRA SUBJECTS ARE NOT FF-1 MODULES. This class is not to replace FF-1, it will provide the student and the Fire Chief with a general idea of what FF-1 is about in 28 hours before making the committment to a full 212 hr program.
