Citizen's Fire Academy

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a firefighter/paramedic?  Do you want to learn about fire suppression and rescue?  Would you like to view the department from a unique perspective?  Consider joining our Citizen’s Fire Academy. 

The Citizen’s Fire Academy offers residents new insights into how firefighters/paramedics perform their duties and serve the community.  It is also a great way to foster better communication between citizens and fire personnel through education.  The Academy consists of eight classes focused on topics such as Hazardous Material Processing, Juvenile Fire Setters, Automobile Extrication, and more. 

Our next course starts April 1, 2013.  The deadline to apply is March 18.  Applications are available at the Streamwood Fire Department or on-line here. 

If you have any questions, please contact Chief Chris Clark at (630) 736-3650 or by email cclark@streamwood.org.
