Online Firefighter I for Florida's Volunteers


Florida Public Safety is soon to roll out an online Firefighter I course that will aid many of Florida's volunteer fire departments by supplying a more flexible method of reaching training.

This is a hybrid online learning environment that will allow the student to invest in the theory portions of the training at times when their schedule allows. Hands-on portions of the Firefighter I curriculum will still be required, but the student or department will have the option of attending hands-on portions at the Florida State Fire College, or by having their own certified instructor perform and monitor those portions.
