Following the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1001 Firefighter I & II standard, this program blends theory, lab practice, and field experience. Students will be expected to perform fire related duties at a considerable height or in very confined spaces in preparation for entry into the firefighting profession. Prepare yourself for an exciting career as a professional firefighter, or in related employment. Everything we do we believe in challenging the status quo and we believe in thinking differently. The way we challenge the status quo is by being innovative with our delivery, smaller class sizes, great instructor to student ratio and by our close partnership with our area Fire Services. For more than 15 years the Pre-Service Firefighter Education & Training Program at St. Lawrence College has successfully provided students with the knowledge and skills required to become firefighters. Students develop a sound knowledge of fire dynamics, fire suppression, fire prevention, auto extrication, ice/water rescue, emergency patient care, simulated and controlled live fire training scenarios and community service. Students also receive assistance with their resume, career planning and attend a mock interview session in preparation for the job application process. A St. Lawrence College graduate will be career-ready and prepared to enter the fire service industry.
