Entry-level Paid-On-Call Firefighters without Firefighter I certification will be sponsored through the Island County Recruit Firefighter Academy (ICRA) to obtain training hours required for the certification. ICRA currently runs once each year from January through May and is held on alternating weeknights and weekends, to allow participants to continue their full-time jobs while becoming POC Firefighters. It operates on Whidbey Island, training recruits from Island County Fire Districts and Oak Harbor Fire Department. Each ICRA session prepares recruits for the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) Firefighter 1 certification exam. The Firefighter 1 Certificate is recognized across the nation and requires 130 credit hours of training and successfully completing the exam to obtain.
