For those wishing to begin an exciting and rewarding career in the fire service, the Pitt Community College Fire and Emergency Management program offers a wide range of certification classes designed to meet the needs of firefighters, fire inspectors, and other fire rescue professionals.
Firefighters extinguish fires and respond to emergency situations where life, property, or the environment is at risk. Duties may include work as a fire inspector, fire prevention, emergency medical service, hazardous material response, search and rescue, emergency management, and disaster assistance.

All classes will be held at Eastern Pines Fire Department, 5473 Eastern Pines Rd, Greenville NC on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6pm-10pm unless otherwise noted.
Training doesn’t stop when class ends. We continue training for all Emergency services personnel to keep up with current OSFM certification to better assist our community.
We also offer nighttime Fire Academies for individuals who need an alternative to daytime academies. You will earn the same certifications with a slightly different educational experience. Contact us at continuingeducation@my.pittcc.edu.
