When fires blaze out of control, we depend on those skilled in fire science to maintain the safety, security and welfare of our communities. The Fire Science Program at Seminole State College prepares students for rewarding careers in fire services such as:

• Professional firefighting
• Fire safety inspection
• Fire apparatus and emergency vehicle operation (ambulance/rescue)
• Fire investigation

All fire science programs are fully accredited by the Bureau of Fire Standards and Training (BFST) and supported by local fire departments and the Seminole County Fire Training Directors' Committee. In addition, a high-profile advisory committee provides students with excellent connections to employers. Members include the chiefs of the Sanford, Lake Mary and Orlando/Sanford Airport fire departments and the chief of Seminole County's Department of Public Safety.

Seminole State's curriculum options include:

• An Associate in Science (A.S.) degree in Fire Science Technology: This two-year program is for students currently employed in fire services who want to gain the knowledge and experience needed to excel in more advanced positions.
• A Vocational Certificate in Firefighting: This one-semester program is for students whose goal is to gain employment as a firefighter.
