Albuquerque Fire Academy

The mission of the Albuquerque Fire Academy is to deliver a comprehensive Fire Cadet training program that provides each recruit with the classroom knowledge and practical skills necessary to function as a fire fighter/EMT, and to support all AFD programs by conducting professional training for all department personnel. Program training meets NFPA standards for Firefighter I/II certification, American Heart Association training, and State of New Mexico Emergency Medical Services Bureau approved programs.

This training provides the minimum refresher and continuing education hours necessary to maintain current job qualifications. The goal is to ensure that all Department personnel maintain the base, core knowledge and practical skills needed to provide efficient, professional care and service to the citizens of Albuquerque.

The Academy also serves to assess and coordinate all new technical information that is disseminated to Department personnel. It tests new equipment and procedures, conducts annual fire company and individual performance evaluations, and oversees tactical, technical, and safety issues during major emergency incidents.
