South Puget Sound Community College is proud to be partnering with the Thurston County Fire Chiefs' Association to offer the Fire Academy to people affiliated with a fire department. This program is offered two times a year starting in either August or February. The program is 5 months long and runs on two weeknights and about 8 weekend days. For people interested in attending the Fire Academy, please contact your local fire department to explore the options for career and volunteer opportunities.
