Fire/Rescue Services

Classes are scheduled on the main campus, in the Public Safety Services Complex, as well as in the local fire departments and rescue stations throughout Johnston County. Most classes offered are for "State Certification" through the NC Department of Insurance, NC Fire/Rescue Commission and the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

Training is available in basic and advanced levels of firefighting and rescue techniques.

Pre-registration is required for all classes, and books can be purchased from the JCC bookstore before classes begin.

Note: Firefighter I & II classes use Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills, 2nd ed., by Jones & Bartlett or Essentials of Fire Fighting, 5th ed. by IFSTA.

Please contact Jeremey B. Daughtry, Director, 919-209-2081 for more information.

Registration

Registration for the class takes place at the time class begins.  Students arriving late or leaving early will not receive full credit for classes.  Turn-out gear is required for every class.  Other equipment may be needed at the request of the instructor.
