Our Fire Science Program provides high school seniors an opportunity to immerse themselves in the exciting and rewarding career field of the fire service!
Students are trained to the state standards of a certified volunteer fire fighter. This training encompasses all the requirements set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the Alabama Firefighter’s Personnel Standards and Education Commission. The training is provided in cooperation with the Alabama Fire College and is accredited by the Pro Board Fire Service Professional Qualifications System and the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress.
