About Citizens Fire Academy (CFA)
CFA 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.
