"NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY, WE WILL TRAIN YOU"

Training at North Syracuse 

Although the North Syracuse Fire Department is 100% Volunteer, firefighters who serve are held to very high standards.  Our firefighters are all New York State Certified Interior Class Firefighters.  Many of our firefighters have specialized training including Hazard Material Technicians, Rescue Divers, Rope Rescue Technicians, and more.  Those firefighters often serve on the Onondaga County Special Operations Teams in addition to the NSFD. All NSFD firefighters are trained in First Aid, CPR and the use of AED's via internal American Red Cross Instructors. Many firefighters at the NSFD continue their Medical Training to the EMT level and a few as high as the Paramedic Level.

Members of the North Syracuse Fire Department are expected to attend weekly training drills which are held every Tuesday at North Syracuse Station 1.  These drills combine classroom lectures with hands on practical evolutions, both designed to keep our members up to date on the latest fire service skills and techniques.  These drills are facilitated by a wide range of instructors, from our own officers to outside lecturers/instructors. 

Topics include: Safety and OSHA, EMS, Engine Company Operations, Truck Company Operations, Rescue Company Operations, Rapid Intervention, Building Construction and more ...
