National Fire Academy Courses

The National Fire Academy (NFA) courses are co-sponsored by the NFA and state training systems. Each year, the NFA offers each state nine, two-day courses for delivery within their own state. The NFA courses include a wide variety of subjects including fire prevention, public education, company tactical operations, incident command, health and safety, and hazardous materials. Students are offered the opportunity to grow professionally through quality education experience and to increase their knowledge and skills to provide a safe and effective response for their communities.
