Outreach Programs

DESCRIPTION

To expand the training provided to the fire and emergency service community, "Outreach Programs" are available. These programs do not replace the normal schedule of training offered at the Academy, but will focus on presenting relevant subjects at your department's headquarters.

Since 1998 the Fire Division has delivered numerous programs as part of the Outreach Program. The goal of this program is to focus and tailor the delivery of the course and provide fire service training to an expanded number of students.

Topics can be tailored specifically to your department's needs, and vary in nature from a general introductory type of presentation to one that is very specific in nature. Regulatory compliance courses are also available to enhance your department's safety process. Again the emphasis is to reach a broader base of the fire service community.

Typical offerings might include:

• NIMS IS-700
• NIMS I-200
• NIMS I-300
• NIMS I-400
• Foam Operations
• Harness
• NFA Incident Safety Officer
• Quint Training
• Pump Operations
• Firefighter Assistance Search Teams
• CBRNE / WMD Awareness and Operations
• CBRNE / WMD Refreshers
• Haz-Mat Awareness and Operations and the Refreshers
• Regulatory Compliant Training
• Decontamination (Definitive and Gross)
