Fire Science


Photography by Paul Braus

 

Fire Science program is an Accredited Regional Training Program through the California State Fire Marshal and the State Board of Fire Services

The Fire Science (FIR) Program at Lake Tahoe Community College is comprised of three areas of concentration.

 

The Fire Science program culminates in an Associate degree (90 units) or Certificates of Achievement: 

  • Firefighting & Emergency Operations (33.75 units)
  • Fire Officer (33.75)
  • Firefighter I (43.5 units) - Certificate of Achievement only

The Certificates of Achievement are considered "stepping stones" into a volunteer fire service position and allow students to thoroughly explore the career options before committing to an Associate degree program. Refer to the catalog for descriptions of the course requirements for completing the AA degree or the certificates of achievement. Students can expect to complete a degree or certificate in two years.
