Story

We are registered as a private career college under the PRIVATE CAREER COLLEGES ACT 2005.

The Ontario Fire Academy was created to provide recruits with the opportunity to learn the skills and knowledge required to be a firefighter, while learning the social skills and discipline required to be a functional member of a fire department.

The academy is the vision of a retired fire Captain. He wanted to create a learning environment that replicates a working firehouse, so that the recruits can learn to be a part of a functional firehouse while they gain their education required to become a firefighter.

The academy offers a unique experience, in which recruits will live in a replicated working firehouse, where they will live as firefighters. This includes going to class and learning the knowledge and skills, while doing station chores, cooking, and responding to mock emergency calls throughout the their stay at the academy. For the entire time recruits are at the academy, they are expected to act as professionals and respect the chain of command, as if they were working firefighters

Mission

To educate and train future fire fighters to the highest industry standard and inspire them to commit to values of Duty, Honour and Service
