The
Secondary School Fire Academy is a program which
allows students to learn about, and practice, some
of the skills and training fire fighters must
undertake. In addition, the students will learn
information that will enhance their current skills
and knowledge, particularly in physical training,
teamwork and mechanical aptitude.
The students selected for the Secondary School Fire Academy will have the opportunity to participate in Rescue Techniques, Auto Extrication, Certification in C.P.R., Fire Prevention, Fire Extinguisher Use, Live Fire and Physical Training.
To be eligible to participate in this program students must complete the application form (available from Mr. Fedrau in the Counselling Center), attach their resume and submit the package to Mr. Fedrau. They will then be given two exams; one relating to mathematical skills and the other relating to English. Upon successful completion of the application package and exams, students will then be interviewed by the Fire Rescue Service Selection Committee. The Fire Chief will have the final approval of all selected participants
