What is the Basic Fire Fighter Training Program?
The Basic Fire Fighter Training Program is designed by the The

The program addresses the currently adopted NFPA 1001-2002 edition in
modular format, NFPA 1403-1997 edition, NFPA 472-2001 edition and applicable
sections of WAC 296-305.
Participation is open to any city fire department or fire protection
district in the State of Washington. The program requires that participants
receive training, at the discretion of their department as described
in eleven modules. To begin the application process, download the application
