Join the ranks of the country’s Domestic Preparedness Officers as Firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians. Successful graduates of this program are eligible for hire as a full-time Level II Firefighter (top Ohio certification) in any municipality, and a Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technician-Basic. As a firefighter, you’ll be called upon to assist those in dire need in many highly unusual circumstances. As an NREMT-B, you’ll be licensed to function as ambulance attendants within, or outside of a fire department helping those with emergency medical needs anywhere in the country. You’ll also be eligible for further advanced training as a paramedic.

You’ll learn how to safely manage fire within structures by actually entering into a controlled burn atmosphere in your senior year. You’ll learn basic rope rappelling techniques, auto extrication techniques, and hazardous materials response. This very popular hands-on program keeps students excited and “fully engaged” throughout the entire school year from fighting fires to making mock ambulance runs on campus in a real fire truck and ambulance.
