What to Expect: A Training for New Firefighter Families

Based off the National Volunteer Fire Council’s (NVFC) What to Expect: A Guide for New Firefighter Families (Second Edition), this on-demand training is designed to help new fire and EMS recruits along with their spouses/significant others, children, parents, siblings, and other family members make the adjustment to the volunteer fire service lifestyle. This course serves as a supplement to the guide, which was developed in partnership with Mike and Anne Gagliano and the NVFC Family Task Force. Participants will review topics from the guide such as key fire service terms, keeping family relationships strong, being part of the fire department family, finding support resources, and more.
