VIDEOS/PHOTOS: It's always been a labor of love for longtime Chatham resident Jeff Davis when it came to restoring age-worn pieces of his Chatham childhood and adult life. However, the 72-year-old Davis went above and beyond the call of duty this time to restore/fabricate an iconic Chatham Fourth of July tradition that began in 1953 and was carried on by the late George "Skip" Conlan until his passing in 2019.

The Fire Academy is rapidly becoming the fire service’s most trusted online training platform for fire departments and individuals. By pairing fire & EMS training on critical topics with powerful tracking & reporting capabilities that meet industry and department-specific needs, The Fire Academy is the learning management system (LMS) that more departments are adopting.

We’re delighted to announce that The Fire Academy is now accredited by the New Jersey Office of EMS to offer continuing education credits for all EMS providers.  Once members have their license details on their profile, The Fire Academy will report all BLS course completions to the New Jersey Office of EMS.  Paramedics can submit these courses to your clinical coordinator for approval.  Currently, The Fire Academy offers 14 courses (15 hours) of eligible training for CEUs.

The Fire Academy is also officially accredited by the Kentucky Fire Commission. Per state requirements, all firefighters can complete up to 25% of their annual required training through an online source. For volunteer firefighters, this represents up to a maximum of 5 hours of online training, while paid firefighters can take up to 25 hours of online training to meet these requisites. Please note that this applies to recertification requirements and does not include initial certification.

As Kentucky is a self-reporting state, departments and individuals can submit certificates or reports for all courses taken – an easy task with our reporting functionalities. Firefighter training hours need to be monitored or supervised by a Kentucky Fire Commissioned certified instructor. All CAPCE accredited courses are also eligible for EMS continuing education hours (provided that all applicable KBEMS regulations are followed). As of now, The Fire Academy has 92 approved courses (or 102 hours) that can be applied to meet annual training requirements.

 “This is another step forward and validates the essential training we are bringing to the fire service through Fire Engineering’s Fire Academy. The same peer reviewed writers and instructors for both Fire Engineering and FDIC have delivered the most in-depth comprehensive training to the fire service for 145 years and 90 years respectively. Accreditation for Fire Academy content further validates the high standards of our content while ensuring firefighters and fire departments can rest assured the content meets their states agency’s requirements.” – Eric Schlett, Senior Vice President of the Fire and Rescue division, Clarion Events.
