Welcome to Beaufort Community College Fire & Emergency Management Training
FIRE & EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
The Fire and
Emergency Management Training Program at BCCC provides training to first responders in a
four-county service area of Beaufort, Hyde, Washington, and Tyrrell counties.
The training is conducted both at the various fire stations throughout the
service area and at our four-story Class A drill tower on BCCC campus.
FIRE TRAINING
Fire
training through BCCC is done for both certification and non-certification
classes. Training ranges from entry level for the newest of firefighters to
advanced skill sets for more seasoned firefighters. All certification training is conducted
within the guidelines laid forth by both N.C.O.S.F.M. and N.C.E.M. Topics from
initial engine company operations to advanced officer tactics are offered
regularly.
INNER BANKS FIRE ACADEMY
The Inner Banks Fire Academy at BCCC is designed to allow entry level personal to develop the training necessary for a rewarding career in the fire service whether that be paid or volunteer. Beginning with Basic EMT, the cadet learns the basic skills needed to respond to medical emergencies. The second phase of training will give the cadet all the classes needed to become a NC Certified Firefighter. Also included in the fire training phase will be R.i.T; Safety & Survival; and Advanced Extraction. The third and final phase will be Hazard Material Operations, allowing the cadet to certify as a HazMat responder. Along all three phases of training, the cadet will learn station life duties to prepare them for a 24-hour shift in the fire service or to be prepared for station duties demanded from a busy volunteer. The Inner Banks Fire Academy operates in the spring from 6-10 Monday through Thursday and Saturdays as needed. Training starts in the spring for the 500 plus hours of training with a target completion of around 5 months.
