Students

Student Firefighters actively support our mission of protecting life and property through public education, prevention activities, and emergency response services. Student Firefighters plays a crucial role in delivering our services to our communities.

Prospective students are recruited through a joint application process with Rogue Community College (RCC). If accepted into the program, they are placed in a Firefighter-I Academy where they receive specialized training. Upon academy graduation, the student firefighters are assigned to a career station where they reside, train, and respond to alarms with on-duty career firefighters for the duration of the two-year program. 

Students who complete the program will be prepared to meet the unique demands of a rewarding profession. Coursework follows standards set by: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Fire Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) and accredited coursework by the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST).
