This extensive 50-day firefighter training program is the only one of its kind in the state of Ohio to be recognized by the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) and ProBoard. This course exceeds the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) requirements for firefighters and the training and education standards identified in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards.

Students enrolled in the Firefighter I&II course are required to stay on campus in the student dorms (Sunday - Thursday).

This course meets Monday – Friday 0600-1700. Students must pass written and practical skill competency evaluations to successfully complete the course.

This fast-paced course is both mentally and physically demanding, requiring high levels of dedication and commitment from every student. Embedded in this course is a daily one-hour physical training program that requires students to run 1.5 miles on the first day.

Upon completion of this course, participants will have the knowledge necessary to successfully complete the Ohio Firefighter 1 & 2 examination. In addition to basic firefighter job skills, students will learn essential functions of the job including: professionalism, leadership, teamwork, honor, firefighter safety, emergency vehicle operation, and apparatus pumping.

Students are responsible for providing their own turnout gear and course textbooks. The Ohio Fire Academy does provide Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) if a department issued SCBA will not be used. Information on obtaining these materials and equipment will be provided upon official acceptance into the course.
