Professional Development for the Volunteer Firefighter
Earning the title of professional firefighter has absolutely nothing to do with earning a paycheck. It has everything to do with character, competence, and commitment. The coveted title "professional" is never automatically assigned to an individual who joins a fire department. It needs to be earned and maintained through a program of continuous professional development, which leads to a true organizational professional culture that is supported by all members. This class focuses on what every member can do to contribute to the professional culture while developing as a professional firefighter.
