Citizens Fire Academy

Citizens Fire Academy is an eight-week program (10 classes) that gives residents an opportunity to learn more about how the Allen Fire Department operates and is organized. The Academy takes place each spring. 

Participants experience:

• Demonstrations of emergency operations
• Fire and life safety training
• Riding along with on-duty firefighters on emergency calls

Completion of the Citizens Fire Academy provides an in-depth understanding of the department, but is not to be confused with a fire service training academy for future career firefighters.
