The page describes a career pathway in the fire service that includes comprehensive training. If interested in a career, the most basic training for fire fighting is provided through a nationally accredited Firefighter 1 training academy provided to all volunteers. In addition to Firefighter 1 (FF1), the district will also send candidates to Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) training. With successful completion of FF1 and EMT, candidates will be marketable and able to begin testing for a career position.

Firefighter training consists of personal protective equipment, driving/operating fire engines, fire behavior, water supply, fire hose, ventilation, ladders, and vehicle extrication. Individual career guidance is offered on request provided by dedicated fire service professionals with diverse experience. The district has invested in a training center (prop city) located at Station 64, which allows the Training Division to deliver hands-on, live-fire training, car fires, dumpster fires, search and rescue, ventilation, and a drafting tank for pump training.

Requirements: Firefighter 1 certification, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification
