Did you know the academy is able to schedule flashover sessions around the state if you’re not able to make it to the permanent flashover trainer in Lewistown?

Yesterday wrapped up the Structure 3 and 4 programs which run concurrently at the State Fire Academy. Structure 3 students focus on tactical skills and operations at fires while the structure 4 class acts as the officers for each piece of apparatus, Safety officer, and command. The instructional staff has the best job of the week - planning emergencies and throwing wrenches into the plan to see how officers and firefighters handle the situation. Nothing is off limits for responses, and all the buildings on the grounds are in play! We’d tell you more, but we don’t want to give away our secrets for next year.

Coming to the PSFA March 31st to April 2nd - Flammable Liquid and Gas Firefighting! Most people probably assume they don't need it because they don't have industry in their area. The course will cover 3-dimensional fuel fires (like a ruptured and leaking fuel tank), compressed gas cylinder fires (like propane cylinders at a residential house), the use of extinguishers on flammable liquids and gasses, and foam usages including on ethanol blend and Bakken crude fuels. If it's fire you want, it's the most fire you'll see. It just happens to not be inside of a building this time! Join us March 31-April 2 for a great class!

This week at the PSFA, Engine Company Operations for Residential Buildings (Structure 1) is currently under way. Crews spend some time in the classroom, several days of skills outside, and conclude with live fires tomorrow.

PA State Fire Academy instructor, Tony Zoroya , painting American GIs liberating Europe as war criminals in this post over at “WWII Colourised Photos”. It is a free country, of course, and he can spew such ill-informed vitriol but I can also share it with his employer and the patriotic men & women who work for PA State Fire Academy.
