Citizen’s Fire Academy
Citizen’s Fire Academy
The Citizens’ Fire Academy is an 11-week program designed to educate and inform citizens about the demanding field of fire, emergency medical services, and emergency management. Students will achieve a greater understanding of the inner workings of the department.
The academy will be eleven weeks in length, one night per week, on Thursdays from 6:30 P.M. until 9:00 P.M. The instruction includes practical demonstrations that all participants are encouraged to participate in; however, because of the voluntary nature of the program, physical limitations of applicants will not be considered a reason for exclusion from the academy. The next class starts on February 2, 2023. Graduation will take place the 11th week at the Board of Commissioners meeting, beginning at 5:00 P.M.
To sign up for the Citizens’ Fire Academy, please email Karen Rose at kirose@fayettecountyga.gov for an application, or call (770)305-5168.
There are limited seats available, and applicants should reside in unincorporated Fayette County or the Towns of Tyrone, Brooks, or Woolsey.
“This is a great opportunity to build lasting bonds between our department and our community, for citizens to experience the demands of a career in Fire & Emergency Services, and to witness the great lengths our members go through to make Fayette County a safe place to live, work, and play. Come “Create your Story” with us, as we create a safe community for you.”
— Fire Chief Jeffrey Hill
