In order to participate in the program, you must be a high school graduate (or equivalent), have a 10th grade reading competency, pass a physical exam (you must obtain), and pass a physical agility test given at the start of the program. 请填写 火学院 Application if you are interested in participating. Volunteer firefighters may take individual topics for certification on a space available basis.

Fire and Rescue Certification

Firefighters and rescue personnel need certain classes to obtain and maintain certifications. These certification classes are primarily held at local fire departments and are designed to help volunteer firefighters and rescue personnel get the training needed for certifications. Having these courses at local fire departments enables firefighters and rescue personnel to train on the equipment that will be used to control fires and perform rescues alongside other members of their fire department. Specialized training is also offered to meet the needs of various agencies. 

高中学院

If you are a student in the Randolph County School System and are 16 years of age or older, you can participate in this after-school program to earn credits towards the completion of a N.C. Firefighter certification. Classes cover topics such as fire behavior, personal protective equipment, and emergency medical care. In addition to class participation, you will also be encouraged to join your local volunteer fire department’s junior program. This will give you access to equipment and give you the opportunity to learn as part of an organization. 只是觉得, if you start the program when you are 16, you will only be a few classes away from becoming a N.C. certified firefighter when you turn 18!
