Student Testimonials

"I love this firefighting program because it's helping me be set up for success. Every chapter is filled with rich information regarding firefighting and protocols. The course's hands-on approach is to ensure its students are well taken care of and equipped with the proper PPE to run drills and help students have a new understanding of what the phrase, "serve, honor and protect" truly means. This public safety program will help you gain more knowledge and help you dive deep into the lifestyle of firefighting." ~Liberty Q., class of 2021
