What Will I Learn?

Fire science students receive all the basics of fire suppression plus an in-depth understanding of industry science, administration, fire detection systems, hazardous materials, fire behavior, crisis management and incident salvage.

Some fire science programs also instruct students in ecosystems including landscape-specific fire effects and rehabilitation.

In addition to industry-specific information, fire science students are often required to take public speaking, technical writing, and administration courses, preparing them for a career as a public figure.

All of these courses combine to create a well-rounded firefighter. A fire science degree prepares a candidate to go above and beyond basic firefighting, making the educational experience an integral part of career advancement.
