About the program

Recruits train at county facilities like the Richard Sewell Training Center or partnered sites (such as fire stations). The program combines physical conditioning, classroom academics, skills drills, and live-fire/hands-on simulations to prepare them for fire suppression, rescue, EMS (as paramedics), and all-risk operations. Successful completion can lead to being hired as a Firefighter-Paramedic with SBCoFPD.
