Johnston Community College Fire Services

Our Night Certification Series recently traveled to Pick Your Part - Raleigh in Clayton to complete their hands-on training and practical skills for Rescue Operations 1.

A huge thank you to Clayton Fire Department, Pine Level Fire Department and Selma Fire Department for providing equipment, expertise, and sharing their knowledge with our students. Partnerships like these provide invaluable real-world training opportunities and help prepare the next generation of firefighters and rescuers.

We appreciate your continued support of Johnston Community College Fire Programs!

🚒 **Every firefighter starts somewhere.**

Today, this classroom sits empty. On Monday, it will be filled with 26 cadets who have made the decision to answer the call and begin their journey toward becoming firefighters.

Over the next 20 weeks, these cadets will be challenged mentally and physically. They will be pushed beyond their comfort zones, tested through adversity, and expected to give their best every single day.

They will learn the skills, discipline, and teamwork required to earn the title of firefighter. They will build each other up, overcome challenges together, and lay the foundation for a career built on service, teamwork, and commitment.

This is where their journey begins. 🔥

**20 weeks. One decision. A lifetime of service.**

Fire Academy Class 15 will begin in January 2027. If you have been thinking about a career in the fire service, now is the time to take the first step.

🚒 The goal isn’t graduation.

The goal is earning the privilege to serve your community as a firefighter.

Class 12 graduated on December 11, 2025. By April 2026, 9 of 9 graduates had been hired.

Class 13 graduated on May 11, 2026. As of today, 12 of 15 graduates have already been hired.

Behind every number is a firefighter who put in the work, earned the opportunity, and is now serving their community.

We’re proud of our graduates and thankful for the departments that continue to invest in the next generation of firefighters.

🔥 Fire Academy Class 14 begins August 3.

20 weeks. One decision. A lifetime of service.
