Welcome to the LION Fire Academy
LION Fire Academy provides fire department members with online training on PPE and Continuing Education Units for successful completion. Fire instructors can incorporate PPE education into their classes and have their students earn credits. If you are a fire student or contemplating a career in firefighting, you’ll find helpful quizzes, videos and links on PPE and other firefighting topics.
NFPA 1851 and NFPA 1500 training modules are valid for any brand of PPE.
If you have suggestions on new training topics, or just have a question, please tell us.
