Instructional Program (CIP)
Description
The NPC Fire Science program offers a dual approach for training in the firefighting field: 1) basic instruction for the new recruit and 2) continuing education programs for current fire service professionals serving in area fire departments seeking further training and job promotions.
Using a fire academy approach, through classroom instruction and hands-on training, recruits study fire-fighting and fire-prevention techniques, local building codes, and emergency medical procedures. You'll learn how to fight fires with standard equipment, including axes, chain saws, fire extinguishers and ladders. Rigorous physical training is an integral part of the instruction. Basic wildland firefighting techniques are covered, allowing graduates to test for their "red card," required to work as "hot shots" and on wildland engine companies.
- Our courses, based on National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, satisfy the Northeast Arizona Fire Chiefs Association Task Book training requirements for promotion eligibility.
- For more information about this program, please contact an NPC Academic Adviser. Also see the current NPC College Catalog and class schedule.
