The Fire Prevention Internship Program, a partnership between Mission College and
local fire agencies, offers students hands-on experience and training to prepare for
careers in fire prevention and public safety. The program combines classroom instruction
with 10–14 hours of paid weekly internship work, covering topics like fire behavior,
emergency response, hazardous materials, and building systems.
Designed for both new students and those already in the fire service, it supports
career advancement and transfer to four-year colleges while preparing participants
for roles such as fire inspector, investigator, or fire marshal.
A student needs to complete an EMT program (like those listed below) prior to participating in the Firefighter 1 Academy.
