Firefighters in full gear

Citizens Fire Academy

The Citizen Fire Academy (CFA) is a school like no other – no homework, no tests, no hall passes, and super cool teachers: Firefighter/Paramedics.

The Citizen Fire Academy (CFA) is a school like no other– no homework, no tests, no hall passes, and super cool teachers: Firefighter/Paramedics. They’ll show you some of the tools and techniques they use as emergency responders and you’ll get the chance to climb, cut, smash, carry, crawl, hang suspended, pull, and push your way through several firefighting, EMS, and rescue techniques. There is no pressure to do all the activities offered in the class. However, the friendly camaraderie that develops between class members usually encourages most to give it a try. There is some lecture, but most class time is dedicated to demonstrations, tours, “gearing up,” and getting firsthand experience (if you choose). Washington Township/City of Dublin Residents preferred. If you are interested in participating in the 2024 class, please fill out the application below (dates TBD).
