Special Notice
For the spring semester, all courses are automatically being assigned a Zoom link even if they are scheduled to take place at an academy in a classroom. This is to help facilitate any needed changes due to academy closure or Covid requirements.
Changes regarding class cancellation or the change to Zoom will be posted on the home page of our website as a blog. Students are responsible for checking the site prior to attending any class. We may not always send an email, so the website will be the official notice.
As a final note, we have added two new locations for courses: Union County Fire Academy and Fire University. The addresses and directions are located at the back of this brochure.
