Basic Fire Fighting

Program Overview

The Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada have partnered for several years to offer community development in fire protection for Saskatchewan's First Nations. Basic fire fighting is taught at First Nations communities upon request. Emphasis of these programs is for volunteer community-based, local structural fire fighter training.

If interested, an instructor will meet with your designated contact person, or fire chief, to assist with an overall review of your fire department, including equipment requirements and fire fighter recruiting. The Basic Fire Fighter training sessions are conducted through a series of modules where fire fighters will develop skills for structural fire fighting. A minimum of 6 participants and a maximum of 15 participants are required to run each session. Prior to any session, the instructor will contact the community's fire department to ensure a minimum attendance. For further information, please contact SIIT at (306) 244-4460
