Citizens' Fire Academy

The Fargo Fire Department doesn't just put out fires. We also respond to medical problems, hazardous materials releases, trench collapses, structural collapses, high-angle rescues, confined space rescues, river rescues and more.

Many people don't know the fire department has all of these capabilities; that's why we began the Fargo Fire Department Citizens' Fire Academy was born.

Here are a few comments from some of the Citizens' Fire Academy participants:

  • "The firefighters are each individually impressive, their personalty and ability is outstanding."
  • "Great involvement of firefighting crews, good input into the experience."
  • "The amount of training and excellence of every firefighter is very impressive."
  • "The firefighters were incredible and made us feel safe at all times."
