The School of Public Safety Services will offer a Volunteer Firefighter Basic 36-Hour course evenings and weekends during winter 2012.

The course is designed to meet and exceed the certification established in the Ohio Revised Code for volunteer firefighters, and a portion of the training and educational standards identified in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1001: Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications.

To enroll, students must be at least 18 years of age, and no longer in high school.  Additionally, students are required to attend all sessions of the course and pass all written and practical examinations.  Protective clothing that meets the NFPA standards is required.  

Orientation for the class will be held on January 23, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. in the Hocking College Public Safety Services building, Room 111, and the class schedule will be provided at that time. Preregistration is required by January 19, 2011.  For registration information, please contact Larry Hatem at 740.753.6486 or Betty Dalton at 740.753.6451.
