Training

Personnel training is a key consideration in maintaining state certification.  Our department provides training throughout the year with formal training programs scheduled during the winter months.  The College of The Albemarle in Elizabeth City conducts Fire Fighter I and II courses at the Carova station.  The North Carolina Forestry Service also provides wetland and command structure training at the station.  The National Safety Association’s CEVO driving course has been conducted at the station.  An in-house driver’s license program had been established, with certification requirements by vehicle including a CDL or Class B license to operate T-71.
