The Fire Science Technology program at JJC is designed to teach students fire protection fundamentals and prepare them for entry-level positions in the fire service industry. With the increasing complexity of technology in the industry, it is necessary for fire protection personnel to acquire specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to meet modern-day challenges. Our program can also benefit current fire professionals who need to update their skills and industry knowledge. All fire science instructors are currently full-time or retired firefighters with vast experience from every level of the profession.
