What is the recommended time to start a training session?
Training sessions are generally 3 hours in duration. We have determined that it is best to start evening classes between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. and on Sunday, a start time of 10:00 a.m. Please note the specific requirements regarding the starting time for Hazardous Materials Operations courses, Confined Space Rescue courses and Intermediate Rope Rescue courses. Details can be found in the individual course descriptions that follow. • Multiple Session Courses The Fire Academy offers a number of courses that are set up in a multiple session format. We realize that the ‘free’ time available to volunteer firefighters is very limited and often presents a problem for individuals desiring to attend multi-session programs. The Fire Academy’s multiple session programs are designed upon the “building block” principle; they follow a logical progression of integrated topics. A student should attend these training sessions in proper sequence. It is also recommended that this type of course be scheduled
