4 4 6. Optional Fees: Approximately $ The State of California Community College Chancellor s Office has determined that certification fees are optional in nature and cannot be collected at the time of registration. Cadets who do not have any existing course completion certificates and want those end of course documents will be required to pay the optional certification fees. Fees vary according to the certificates being sought. This fee covers certificates from the California State Fire Marshal s Office, Cal-OES, CSTI, ASHI, or similar agencies that have certification fees attached to their courses. Graduates of the academy will receive additional certificates that do not have optional fees attached. A complete listing of certificates with or without optional fees is available from the Fire Technology Office. Unused paid fees will be refunded to the student. Due date for payment of optional fees is August 15, Emergency Medical Information Form: An Emergency Medical Information Form must be completed and signed by a licensed physician. This form must be completed and turned in at the Orientation Meeting. If a full physical has been completed within the last six months, bring a copy of that physical to the class. (See Medical Information below). 8. Respiratory Medical Evaluation Questionnaire Fee: Approximately $30.00 (subject to change). Students must complete this questionnaire and submit it for review to Redding Occupational Medical Center (ROMC). This evaluation is mandatory to help determine the student s ability to wear a respirator. In some cases, ROMC may recommend an additional physical exam to complete the evaluation. 9. Fit Test fee: Currently $25.00 (subject to change). Once the student receives medical clearance to wear a respirator, the student will receive notification of approval to be fitted for a respirator. We will schedule a time to complete the fit test as a group. Please DO NOT make individual arrangements to complete a fit test. 10. This course is currently scheduled to meet on the days and times set forth above. While the Fire Academy meets Monday through Friday, students should anticipate schedule changes based on weather, facilities use, mass illness, numerous job interviews, instructor availability, etc. This may involve scheduling occasional evening or weekend class meetings. In addition to class hours, students will be expected to complete an extensive amount of homework, meet in study groups and, if needed, come in on their own time to practice technical skills and improve physical conditioning. In short, this is a full time commitment for the semester. 11. Fire Academy students will be required to purchase mandatory equipment and supplies for this class. Several weeks prior to the orientation meeting, registered students will receive a pre-letter which lists all required equipment/supplies for both the pre-meeting and the first day of class. If you have not received this letter by the Monday prior to the pre-meeting, please contact Liz Ault at (530) Students taking the Fire Academy must have a valid address and reliable internet access throughout the semester (computers are available on a first-come/first served basis at the college library). Students will need effective computer skills. 13. Fire Academy students must be medically cleared for rigorous physical training prior to the first day of class. The required medical forms can be picked up in room 2800 or 2208 M-Th, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Students who do not have full medical clearance on the first day of class will not be allowed to participate in any Fire Academy activities and may be dropped from the class by the Director. Students should anticipate a very demanding, yet highly rewarding semester while completing this course. 14. A Physical Fitness Assessment will be administered during the first week of class. The student must pass the assessment in order to continue in the class. Dress and Grooming Standards You will attend the first day of class in the approved PT uniform (described in the Uniform Components section below) which is available through the Shasta College Bookstore Phone: (530) ; Fax: (530) ; shasta@bkstr.com. The components should be clean, dark navy blue sweatpants and a long-sleeve, dark

5 5 navy blue sweatshirt (without a hood). The weather is not an issue; if it is 110 o or 10 o below zero, you show up in sweats. Both the sweatpants and sweatshirt are to be free of any logos and symbols, except for your last name stenciled on the front and back of the t-shirt and sweatshirt. You will also need dark blue running shorts or sweat shorts. You should have two (preferably three) full sets of sweats. One pair will get wet every morning during physical training (PT). After PT and showers, you may be wearing sweats for up to the first two weeks of the academy. If you only have one pair, you will be sitting in wet clothing for 12 hours every day. You will need a pair of good running shoes for PT. Buy a pair that is designed for cross training. You will be running on the track, in the dirt, and on pavement. Good shoes are one of the best ways to prevent shin splints and injuries to your legs and feet. They do not have to be the most expensive. Go to a store that specializes in running shoes. Fleet Feet will analyze your running style and recommend the appropriate type of shoe. Each semester, students quit the academy because of shin-splints or similar running-related problems. Many problems can be prevented if the student wears good running shoes. Purchase at least two pairs of dark blue or black gloves for the morning workouts. Physical training is conducted in rain, snow, and heat. The gloves that work best are made from thin wool, polypropylene or similar material. Grooming standards will be explained at the pre-meeting, but keep in mind this is a paramilitary academy that means no beards, mustaches, goatees, sideburns, etc. Men s hair should be cut in a short military style. Women s hair must be short enough to completely fit comfortably in a bun inside the helmet lining. No earrings/nose rings, etc. With the exception of Medic-Alert tags, do not wear bracelets, necklaces, etc. Uniform Components: Order uniform components at Shasta College Bookstore, (530) The number indicated is the minimum number required.

Shasta College is not responsible for any damage. A signed letter from your Chief authorizing the use of department PPE must be returned to the Fire Academy Director.

6 You MUST have the items listed below by August 15, You will not be able to continue in the academy without these items. You have several options for acquiring the required structure PPE components. You can purchase your own structure PPE ensemble, but this is the most expensive of the options. You may use agency/department provided PPE with permission of the department chief. Or, the preferred option, for those who are not able to use department provided PPE, is to rent them from a vendor that provides this service. We have negotiated a special price with the vendor listed below. See attached flyer. We encourage you to use the rental option from 911 Safety Equipment so that the academy looks professional in standardized PPE. An inspection of all turnout gear will be conducted during the first two weeks of class. 911 Safety Equipment fireacademyrentals.com 329 E. Main Street Norristown, PA USA , or The three month rental period from 911 Safety Equipment should cover the amount of time you will need the structure ensemble for the academy.

If you are on the waitlist, you do not need to bring these items; if you get in the class, you will be given a couple of days to acquire needed items A money-saver note: If you are going to buy a full set of structural gear you may want to think about driving to Cascade Fire in Medford (assuming you live in Northern California). They are typically less expensive, it s a nice drive, and they will measure and fit you at their office. You can also drive to the other vendors, but Medford is closer. These equipment suppliers will NOT allow returns on any items that have been worn or custom-ordered; in addition, they may charge you a re-stocking fee for any returned equipment. If you do not have these items, and are unable to obtain them, you will not be allowed to continue in the class. The college does not provide personal lockers for your academy equipment. You are responsible for transporting your gear to school every day, and having it available at all times. DO NOT leave equipment visible in your vehicle. Lock items in your trunk. We have had several break-ins and thefts from personal vehicles, on and off campus. Physical Conditioning: Daily physical fitness participation is mandatory during the academy. If you are not actively engaged in a wellrounded fitness routine that includes strength training, cardiovascular conditioning and flexibility, it is strongly recommended that you to do so immediately.
