Fire Science Courses
Coursework in Fire Science covers disaster planning and the administration of fire-protection services, encompassing all areas of incendiary-fire management. Fire Science relates to fields such as public safety, law enforcement, government, health services, insurance, and private-industry emergency response, as well as to military fire departments in the United States and abroad. Students gain an understanding of the interagency coordination necessary for fire prevention, emergency management, safe and successful fire-incident command, and arson investigation. Fire Science curricula include analytical approaches to fire protection and investigation, personnel management, disaster and fire-defense planning, hazardous materials management, fire-protection structure and system design, the role of the fire service within the community and political structure, and the phenomena of fire propagation.
