The SMART Fire Academy was started in 2008 as a option for students that were working, had families, or had other daily commitments to be able to complete their firefighter certifications without leaving home to attend a full time college program.  Combining advancing technology with the experience and knowledge of local firefighters, a program was conceived that gave candidates every available advantage to complete their training, obtain certification, and be on their way to pursuing the career of their dreams.  It really is our goal to see you achieve yours and we have been doing that for hundreds of students across Canada for the past 8 years.

Being a firefighter is something you are, not something you become.  It is deep within you to want to help others while working as a team of brothers and sisters.  We would challenge you to attempt to find a single firefighter that does not like being one.  Good Luck!  Firefighters are some of the most loved, respected and admired people in society, but they are also human and did not get there on their own.  It is our mission to not only train individuals in the skills of firefighting and rescue, but equally as important, to impress the values of Character, Honor, Respect, Integrity, Service & Teamwork on each candidate.
