In addition to specialized disciplines, the Training Division maintains a structured curriculum for core certifications, such as Firefighter I & II, Pumper Apparatus Operator and Aerial Apparatus Operator.

We actively monitor and maintain training hours, to ensure State/ISO compliance and plan for the department’s evolving needs. By staying ahead of emerging fire service technologies, building construction trends, and societal shifts; the Training Division ensures our personnel are always prepared to respond safely, effectively and professionally.
