Become A Firefighter
Do you have what it takes to put others before yourself? Integrity, honesty, courage, selflessness, being a team player, compassion, commitment and competence. The knowledge and competence will come from training to ensure the job is done safely and effectively. There are dozens of training courses including fire suppression, EMS, officer, instructor, leadership, hazardous materials, specialized rescue and beyond. Each fire department has their own training requirements, and they will determine any training that will be required of you. Check with an Officer for more information.
Take Classes At The SC Fire Academy
You cannot take any training with the South Carolina Fire Academy until you are affiliated with a South Carolina fire service agency, either as a paid employee or volunteer. Once you become affiliated with a South Carolina fire service agency, your training officer will determine which classes you take and ensure your registration in them. Check with an Officer for more information.
