Training

TRAINING DIVISION

The BAFD Training Division is responsible for handling all training within the department for current and incoming staff through programming and hands-on scenarios.

In October 2021 the Fire Department welcomed 16 new members. They were selected after a strenuous and thorough selection process which included a written exam, an eight-week Physical Agility Assessment and a series of interviews. These 16 fire cadets began a 15-week, highly intensive, training academy.

FIRE ACADEMY

The Training Center is home to a multitude of Fire, Rescue and EMS training tools

16 members entered the Academy in the 2021 calendar year

During their academy the cadets learned all aspects of being a Broken Arrow Firefighter. The areas of training included Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Vehicle Driving, Firefighting, Hazardous Materials, Vehicle Extrication, Flammable Liquids and Gases, and more. After completion of their academy these new members will obtain further on-the-job training while working in fire stations and providing supervised services to the community until they complete their probationary year of service.

COVID-19 COVID-19 has continued to make a lasting impression on our community. To date since the Pandemic began, we have transported over 2,000 patients with COVID related symptoms. Our trend on positive patients has gone up and down over the past two years and our Firefighters continue to train and stay up to date on the latest COVID-19 trends.
