Are you a firefighter who needs training, or are you interested in becoming a firefighter? Many colleges hold weekend classes every year to allow firefighters to complete classes required for NC Fire and Rescue Certifications, courses for re-certifications, and other specialized classes. We have compiled a list of NC fire colleges (along with the weeks they are typically held, but definitely check out the college’s websites to confirm the actual dates) to allow for firefighters to complete classes they need, as well as a couple statewide & nationwide expos. If you have an additional event that you would like to add, feel free to email Webmaster@WakeNewHopeFire.com
