Fire Services

Fire protection encompasses not only the fire service, represented by our community’s fire departments and their members, but the civilians who work for fire departments in various roles, those who work elsewhere in government in fire-related roles, and those in the private sector who are involved in fire prevention or related pursuits.

Fire Service Certification Class Schedules

Our classes are listed in the Buncombe County Fire Training Calendar and on the Facebook page "Buncombe County Fire & Rescue Training".
