FIRE TECHNOLOGY
Fire protection is a highly specialized professional field
requiring extensive knowledge and use of scientific
principles. Successful application of the fundamental
principles of fire protection, including suppression and
extinguishment of fires, rescue, emergency medical
services, prevention techniques and practices,
preplanning for fire protection, and disaster control,
requires technical knowledge and the ability to work
within an organized system at the fire ground or other
emergency scene. These actions require trained,
professional people to accomplish the goals and
objectives of today’s public and/or private organizations
in meeting their commitment to the public and
employees they serve. Fire Technology provides the
student the opportunity to prepare for a rewarding
career in the public fire service or in private industry.
