Fire service training programs should be analyzed
to determine the type of training that is required. Is a
fire service training center necessary? If the answer is yes, then
the initial step is to develop a statement on the broad purpose
of the center. An example of such a statement follows: “Ever-changing
technologies in fire suppression and fire prevention require that today’s fire fighter be knowledgeable and well
trained. A proper environment for obtaining this knowledge
and training is equally important. This fire service training
center provides the facilities required for fire training and enhances
the community’s well-being through better fire protection
and fire prevention.”
