About
the ECFR Fire Academy:
The Escambia
County Fire Rescue administration directed the ECFR Training Division to proceed with developing and implementing the ECFR Fire Academy in
May 2024. With the projected growth of Escambia County and the need to provide
the highest level of protection for its citizens, the Training Division
conducted a physical abilities test, hired 12 employees as fire cadets, and
began their education journey through the Florida State Fire College-required
492 hours of training to become Firefighter 2-certified.
Three volunteer firefighters joined the fire cadets to continue the training for
their state certification test on Nov. 21, 2024. The education offered during
the fire academy included Firefighting, Emergency Medical Responder, Live Fire
Training and Vehicle Extrication. What makes the ECFR Fire Academy unique are
the instructors, who are all ECFR firefighters and lieutenants.
Led by Lt. Jason Crabbe, the instructors played a pivotal role as instructors and mentors. The training given to the fire cadets will be instrumental in starting their career, only growing in knowledge and experience as they serve as firefighters within Escambia County Fire Rescue.
The mission of Escambia County government is to provide efficient, responsive services that enhance our quality of life, meet common needs and promote a safe and healthy community.
