Then this program is for you! About the program: Firefighters are one of the three public safety divisions (EMS, Fire & Law Enforcement). The one-year Fire Fighter program introduces students to the exciting career field of Fire Fighting. New Horizons, with the invaluable assistance of the Hampton City Fire Department, is offering an opportunity for students to be eligible to be hired by a fire department as fire fighter trainees upon graduation from high school. This would also require the successful completion of EMT-B (see page 25). This course meets the sequential elective requirement. This new program includes the opportunity to earn both the Fire Fighter I and II certifications through the Virginia Department of Fire Programs. Due to this, students will be required to attend some training after school and on some weekends. Attendance at these sessions is mandatory for those pursuing the fire fighter certification. Fire Fighter students study: Basic life support Hazardous material awareness and operations Fire behavior, building construction & forcible entry Ladders, water supply, sprinkler systems & ventilation Incident management systems Building search Fire cause and origin Pre-incident survey FD communications, radio systems & reporting Career Opportunities include: City, State and Federal Fire Departments Private Fire contractors/Private Industry Certifications Include: Fire Fighter I and II Hazardous Materials Awareness - DFP Dual Enrollment College Credit: Thomas Nelson Community College (6 credits) Important to Note: All activities will be conducted with great care and supervised closely by qualified personnel. Policies and procedures are designed to ensure adequate levels of safety while allowing for flexibility to utilize independent judgment based on the level of training. Any student who jeopardizes the safety of others will be removed from the program. Due to the strenuous physical activity involved in Fire Fighter all students will need to complete a physical exam with a physician using a New Horizons form. This physical must be completed by August 1. Students who are not recommended for entry by a physician will not be able to enter this program. Also, students must be 16 years old on the first day of class (no exceptions). Students must have completed English 10 with a grade of “C” or above. 24 HAMPTON ROADS PUBLIC WORKS ACADEMY CADET PROGRAM This two-year, hands-on program is geared toward high school students participating in automotive technology, manufacturing and construction cluster programs at New Horizons Career and Technical Education Center.
