Welcome to the Garland Fire Department Citizens Fire Academy Web page. This program is intended to familiarize and inform our customers and associates of the services we provide, how we operate, and why we do the things we do.
The Citizens Fire Academy is a ten-week program that is interesting, informative, and in some aspects challenging. Participants are given the opportunity to participate in various "hands-on" operations.
Upon completion of the program, participants are encouraged to share their knowledge of how their Fire Department operates. We believe the academy will foster a better understanding of the department's duties, responsibilities, and capabilities in serving the community.
