LTCC looking for fire academy participants

Students who want to apply for admission to the Lake Tahoe Basin Fire Academy at Lake Tahoe Community College for fall must attend a mandatory orientation meeting on Aug. 5 at 6pm in the college board room.

Based on student demand, there may be a random lottery for available seats in the fire academy. Students will not be eligible for the lottery unless they attend this orientation meeting.

Interested students must also complete certain prerequisites in order to be eligible.

The program is three academic quarters. At completions cadets have training hours necessary to apply for firefighter 1 certification through the California Fire Marshal’s Office. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for employment as a firefighter.
