Program Description:
Fire Fighting Programs at the University of Illinois are designed to
give firefighters a realistic and safe experience to improve their
skills on the fireground. Classes are held at the Fire Service Institute
Champaign training facility, at select regional locations, and at fire
stations around the state. While many of the programs taught through
the fire fighting programs are similar to classes offered through Cornerstone,
the difference lies in the payment method. If a department does not
meet the requirements to access Cornerstone funding, they may contract
for the class through the fire fighting programs.
Some classes are only available at the Champaign training site. These
include Fire Attack Suppression Techniques (FAST), the Certified Firefighter
II Academy, Fireground Company Officer, and RIT Under Fire. Others,
such as Smoke Divers and Fire Apparatus Engineer, are offered as partnerships
with training agencies around the state. Finally, classes such as Engine
Company Operations, Truck Company Operations, and Saving Our Own ® are
easier to adapt to delivery at a fire department with an adequate acquired
structure.
