Programs

The West Hartford Fire Department is excited to offer a Summer Youth Fire Academy in conjunction with West Hartford Leisure Services and the West Hartford Professional Firefighters Union. You must have completed Fire Academy Basics to participate in Fire Academy Advanced. Cadets will expand the skills learned in Fire Academy Basic, Cadets will have the opportunity to practice vehicle extrication, rope rescue, search and rescue, as well as various tram building exercises. It is imperative that cadets come prepared to follow explicit rules and directions from West Hartford Firefighters. For safety reason, attendance at all sessions is mandatory.

Each days activities will take place at the Newington Fire Tower. Details about this location will be communicated in the Academy Welcome Letter.
