When seconds matter, gaining access isn’t optional.

Class 263FF is putting its forcible-entry skills to work—breaching locks, defeating exterior window props, and using chainsaws to cut through exterior wall assemblies.

This is where classroom instruction becomes practical skill. Our students train hands-on, under realistic conditions, so they’re prepared to perform when the call comes.

🚒 Welcome to the CFRC, Class 263FF! 🔥

A new class is officially underway at the Canadian Fire Rescue College!

Class 263FF has arrived on campus, received their uniforms and turnout gear, and is already getting into the rhythm of life at the CFRC. This morning started the way many mornings here will — with PT, teamwork, and a little hard work before the training day even begins.

We also took the opportunity to get the crew together in front of Truck 14, a piece of fire service history that makes for a pretty fitting backdrop as these students begin their own journey into the profession.

Over the coming weeks, Class 263FF will be challenged physically and mentally as they build the skills, discipline, confidence, and teamwork required of a firefighter.

Welcome to the CFRC, 263FF. Your journey starts now.

🔥 Train hard. Work together. Earn it.
