New Graduates 2021

Firefighter 1 and Firefighter 2 courses in Butte and Palmer started at the end of 2020 and continued through the first quarter of 2021. 

FFI training helps firefighters recognize the behavior and hazards of a fire. Types of smoke; what is happening within a structure that may be indicators of what a fire will do next. A fire is down a hallway, it is hot, not vented -- all indicative of a particularly high risk pre-flashing condition. This course is designed to take the student from the "cold" zone into the "warm" zone, doing external attack, using ground ladders, fire extinguishers, hoses and nozzles, and gives them a basic understanding of fire behavior.
