FIRE 208 - INTRO TO THE FIRE ACADEMY

At this time, both the Summer and Fall 2026 FIRE 208 courses are full, and each course has a waitlist of 25 students.

The next opportunity to submit the required documents will be when the Spring 2027 schedule is posted on the Santa Rosa Junior College website, which is usually sometime in late October or early November.

Please be prepared to submit all required documents at that time, as FIRE 208 fills on a first-come, first-served basis based on completed paperwork received. Once your documents are reviewed and approved, the Fire Technology Department will give eligible students access to register for the course on their own once their priority registration date arrives.
