Overview

The Chanhassen Fire Department has an aggressive training program. We train our firefighters to exceed NFPA, OSHA, and industry standards. How we train is how we will perform. Our goal is to provide the most efficient and safest fire ground possible.
Success comes from the firefighters who take part in the training provided to them.

Commitment

Our members are committed to providing the best service possible to achieve our mission and vision. We are committed to training because it is the backbone of the organization.

Competence

Training builds competence in our fire ground operations. By setting goals for the firefighters to achieve at each training session, our firefighters build their competence in a specific task. Also, at the same time, they develop confidence through achievement. The most crucial focus in our training program is safety.

Consistency

Once the firefighter has trained to the specified level, we keep their skills sharp through continual refresher training. Our overall goal is to perform the tasks the same way each time we are called for service.

Functional Training Exercise
