The Fire Science program is designed to equip students with the critical knowledge and practical experience required to succeed as firefighters, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), fire inspectors, and other public safety professionals.
“A career in the fire service can be one of the most rewarding careers because it allows you to help people in their time of need,” said Daniel Zandvliet, Fire Science program manager. “If you have a desire to serve your community, and help people in their time of need, then a career in the fire service could be for you.”
The curriculum covers essential topics such as fire behavior, hazardous materials management, fire prevention and investigation, emergency medical response, and leadership in emergency situations.

The program offers degree and certificate options, which are designed for fire service professionals who want to enhance their technical competencies or increase their prospects for career advancement.
