The West Metro Academy will provide you with every opportunity to succeed. The education, experience, and training you will receive in the academy will lay a solid foundation for your career as a firefighter at West Metro.

However, the ultimate responsibility of taking advantage of this opportunity is yours. Your goal of achieving the rank of Developing Firefighter with West Metro is entirely dependent on you.

 

To best prepare you for a career in the fire service, the academy has an extensive curriculum that includes:

• A rigorous physical fitness program.

• Broad-based hands-on experience and drilling.

• Reality-based firefighting, rescue, and emergency medical scenarios.

The expectation of the West Metro Fire Protection District is that you master all aspects of the curriculum prior to your completion of the academy. You will be asked to perform skills competently, confidently, and consistently throughout the academy.

The public that we serve expects nothing less than your best, and it is incumbent on each one of you to maintain the focus needed to achieve the standards expected of you.
