The Indian River State College Basic Recruit Fire Academy is certified by the Bureau of Firefighter Standards and Training.

 

The Fire Academy oversees both the Basic Recruit Academy and Pre-Employment Testing for the Treasure Coast area agencies. From your initial testing for the academy application process to required agency hire testing, IRSC has the classes and resources for your new career opportunity.

 

The Firefighter Physical Agility Test (FPAT) is designed to challenge participants with a simulation of real-life situations that a firefighter will face. It is packaged in a three-day program.  The first two days are practice, and the third day is the test.
