<strong>Fire</strong>fighting Curriculum<br />
Students are required to wear NFPA-compliant protective clothing for designated evolutions. In<br />
such cases, students shall not wear any fully synthetic fiber clothing under their protective clothing.<br />
While nomex or other fire-resistant fabrics are not required, garments should provide the<br />
highest level of thermal protection possible. Natural fibers, such as cotton or wool, should be a<br />
minimum standard. For all live fire evolutions, full-length pants are required and long sleeve shirts<br />
are recommended. Protective clothing and equipment is available for rent from the <strong>Fire</strong> <strong>Academy</strong><br />
for a fee of $65 per student per course. A wide range of sizes are available, with coats from 36<br />
though 54, pants from 30 through 48 waist, and boots sized 6 through 14 for both men and women.<br />
Clothing is cleaned and sanitized after each course. Rental must be requested and arranged in<br />
advance and will be provided, if available.<br />
