BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Brevard County Fire Rescue hosted their third annual Firefighter Sponsorship Signing Day May 25 and featured 45 recipients that were selected for BCFR sponsorship.

This opportunity provides funding for EMT & Fire training at Eastern Florida State College, along with conditional job offers.

These recipients have a lot of hard work ahead of them, but they will join the ranks as BCFR Firefighter/EMT’s after completion of their training and obtaining their State of Florida certifications.

“Please join us in welcoming each of them to the BCFR family and congratulating them on their decision to serve their community with a career in public service,” said Brevard County Fire Rescue spokesperson.

All prospective students must complete the online application for admission to Eastern Florida State College, as well as the separate online application to the Public Safety Institute.

The EMT program is designed to train individuals for entry-level positions in emergency medical and first responder services. Graduates can also gain certification that will allow them to continue their education in fire service or paramedics.

The Paramedic program is designed to help students complete their EMS education by securing a State of Florida Paramedic certificate. The Paramedic certified personnel can then declare their major in order to finish an Associate Degree in EMS.
