The
Hanover Volunteer Fire Academy Program has been recognized
nationally for its ability to train quality volunteer and
career firefighters. The performance requirements on the fireground
are the same for both career and volunteer personnel and the
Fire & EMS Academy trains accordingly. The program is
a rigid and physically demanding program that is designed
to create highly effective, professional firefighters.
The
Volunteer Fire Academy is a six-month program that runs on
a two nights a week, every other weekend schedule. Programs
typically start every January and July, one school starting
right after the previous one ends. Textbooks are available
through the Training Academy and may be obtained once course
registration is verified. An Academy duty shirt will be provided,
but students are expected to provide their own navy blue work
pants and black uniform shoes.
Students
graduate with the minimum requirements for volunteer firefighters,
including state certifications in Firefighter I, Firefighter
II, Hazardous Materials Operations, and Mayday-Firefighter Down.
Some of the highlights of the Academy program include an opportunity
for family members to see their loved one in action at the Academy
Family Day and a formal Graduation Ceremony.
