Welcome
he staff of the Morris County Public Safety Training Academy is pleased to present our 2010 schedule of courses. We believe these courses address the needs of the Morris County Fire and Emergency Services community, as well as the many out of county departments who utilize our Academy.
he year 2009 was both productive and dynamic for the Fire Division. We conducted eight Fire Fighter 1 courses with two of them being Junior courses. Altogether we graduated 252 Fire Fighter 1 recruits. The Junior Fire Fighter 1 courses were very popular and were larger this year. The Junior courses will continue to be offered this year during the summer months. We expanded our outreach courses this year to meet the growing needs of the fire and emergency services community with continued support of NIMS and regulatory refresher courses.
rientation night / day sessions for the Fire Fighter 1 courses are MANDATORY with the recruits receiving their course materials. The Fire Fighter 1 course goal and objectives along with the curriculum are reviewed. The recruit will be given the Academy’s expectation of them while attending this course. The Orientation is critical with the new Fire Fighter 1 curriculum adopted by the NJ Division of Fire Safety. It is encouraged that the Chief, designee or the Training Officer attend this session to hear what is expected of their recruits and to get an idea of the new Fire Fighter 1 curriculum.
The Academy will continue to provide quality training that is consistent with and meets the standards set by the NJ Division of Fire Safety, the National Integration Center as well as the NFPA. The Academy will continue to offer courses of interest as well as the new Fire Instructor 1, Fire Instructor 2, Fire Inspector and review courses for the Fire Officer and Fire Fighter 2 challenge exams. We will also continue to offer outreach courses which are done at a convenient location for the host department.
he use of the fire grounds increased greatly with the fire and emergency services utilizing all facets and aspects of the facilities.
Should you have any questions regarding this training catalog or the courses offered please do not hesitate to contact the Fire Training Coordinator at 973-285-2984. Thank you for your continued support.
