Weekend Fire Officer Classes
Weekend Fire Officer I & II
Weekend Fire Officer I & II is a course specifically designed for the future or current fire officers from volunteer, combination and career departments. Class is scheduled for one weekend a month on Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 5pm for five months, 80 hours. In addition, it has 40 hours of homework writing assignments, two examinations that coincide with the Fire Officer I and Fire Officer II curriculum and a ten-minute oral presentation for completion and graduation of the course.
With the eighty-hour classroom and the forty-hour homework portion, the students receive a certificate for Fire Officer I and Fire Officer II that satisfies the requirements of NFPA 1021 standard for fire officer professional qualifications.
All of our instructors are officers with many years of volunteer and career experience. There are no firefighters teaching firefighters. Fire departments participating in this program get better trained officers. However, in order to deliver this prestigious course, certain specifications must be met.
