at Madison Fire Department
Madison Catalog
The Madison Fire Department Recruit Training Academy is designed to teach new firefighter/EMTs and also to challenge firefighter/EMTs who already hold state certifications. During the Academy, recruits begin with the basics of firefighting and progress until they are performing advanced, evolution-based scenarios such as smoke diving, advanced rescue, engine company "combat ready" drills, and firefighter survival and rescue. Training and certification is provided in the areas of Hazardous Materials Operations and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT-B). The Academy is physically and mentally challenging. Not all recruits make it through to completion. The MFD Training Staff is committed to making the best new firefighter/EMTs and making existing firefighter/EMTs better.
