Overview
Training is a priority with the Paola Fire Department. It is a tough start to be a Paola Fireman. The Department requires a minimum State Certification level of Fire Fighter I, Fire Fighter II, Hazardous Materials Awareness, and Hazardous Materials Operations level. This must all be completed within one year of starting with the Paola Fire Department.
Ongoing training for personnel is also required using the Department's outstanding training facilities.
