Emergency Preparedness Certificate Programs
Certificate in Firefighter Safety
In the past two year period, more than 200 firefighters nationally have died in Line-of-Duty incidents. Thousands more have been injured, many seriously. None of us has any desire to be part of those statistics. We all know that whether we are in the process of responding to an emergency, working at the scene or returning to the station afterwards, there are inherent risks involved.
- How do we deal with those risks?
- What steps can we take to prevent such incidents?
- How do we keep risk to a manageable level?
Our experience has shown that we need to be alert for the various factors that lead to job-related injury or illness. These questions and many others will be addressed as part of the NEW Certificate in Firefighter Safety. The coursework includes:
- Firefighter Safety Seminar
- Basement and Garage Fires
- Residential and Garden Apartment Fires
- Strip Mall and Supermarket Fires
