The Chattanooga Fire Department's new fire academy got underway on April 9th! The 29 cadets met members of the command staff on their first day. They will go through six months of intense training in all of the areas of the fire service, including: EMR, hazmat, rescue operations, firefighting skills, flammable liquids fires, vehicle extrication and fire ground survival. This academy is crucial for our department to help with staffing. We appreciate these recruits for their willingness to serve the City of Chattanooga and the citizens! We look forward to a new generation of firefighters protecting our community.
“You will gain skills to help people on the worst days of their lives and you’ll take that with you forever. This is the best career in the world. Welcome to the family,” said Executive Deputy Chief Seth Miller.
