Citizens Fire Academy

The Citizens Fire Academy (CFA) is a six week program that offers a small group of area residents the opportunity to view and participate in the activities and services provided by the Murfreesboro Fire Department (MFD). Academy participants will receive an insider’s view of the MFD’s operations.

The Academy concludes with a graduation ceremony. Class members will receive a certificate of completion from the MFD.

Applications are now being accepted through September 3, 2010, for Session 9 of the Citizens Fire Academy.  Check this link for additional information.
