The curriculum is a combination of classroom lectures, hands-on training on the drill field, EMS skill and protocol orientation, and fitness training. Academy attendees learn leadership and personal accountability through the "Battalion" configuration of the class that allows each student the opportunity to be responsible for the communication through the "chain of command" on a rotational basis.
Classroom lectures are supported by drills and activities on the drill field that reinforce the critical skills that are needed to successfully operate at emergency incidents. Our entire curriculum is focused on operating in the safest manner possible during emergency operations.
Career Development
Eugene Springfield Fire also has extensive Engineer and Officer training programs that offer members the opportunity to participate in challenging career development programs that prepare individuals with the skills to drive and operate fire apparatus and direct and provide leadership to crews around the station and during emergency operations.
