The assignments will include ride-a-longs at firehouses that will require the student to learn professional behaviors with co-workers and the public.

Black safety shoes, leather gloves, and eye protection are also required while at a firehouse assingment. The student is required to follow all rules and regulations of the agency they are interning at and to follow class requirements related to paperwork & class meeting dates.
