Registration is now open!
Women in Fire Weeknd was inspired by the program that was to be offered by the National Fire Academy but had been canceled. This weekend is not exclusively for female firefighters. There will be a brief segment dedicated to the history of women in the fire service. We recognize that women only constitute about 9% of the fire service, and we collaborate closely with our male counterparts. While being sisters in a brotherhood presents challenges, it also brings immense rewards that should be celebrated collectively. We hope to see this course include men and women!
Class Schedule: This hybrid course is open to ALL fire fighters and will include lecture and hands on learning. Saturday May 17th, lessons will focus on rescue operations for other firefighters (RIT, FF CPR, etc.) and will also have a presentation on the history of women in the fire service. Sunday May 18th will start with First Responder Yoga with Antonia, followed by lessons that will focus on self rescue (including bailouts). Each day will start at 8am. More details on the curriculum/schedule will be included in your welcome packet.
