Lewis & Clark Community College

Every year fires take thousands of lives and destroy property worth billions of dollars. Firefighters help protect the public against this danger. They risk their lives to help insure the safety of individuals and property.

Lewis and Clark’s Fire Science program can help you develop the skills to save a person’s property or life. You’ll learn how to respond to different types of fires, what it takes to minimize property damage, and how to help someone who is a victim of a fire, accident or health problem.

Your training at Lewis and Clark also will include examining fire prevention techniques. You’ll study building inspection procedures and the role public education can play in helping prevent fires.
