Defensive Fire Training Program

The Northwest Territories Defensive Firefighter Training Program provides the resources needed to host defensive firefighter training in your communities. It is a competency-based learning program for community fire departments operating at a defensive level of service. In this toolkit, you will find student workbooks for nine firefighter training sessions, along with a facilitation guide, all of which are available for download and printing.

Resources for the NWT Defensive Firefighter Training program are available below. Each resource can be downloaded and used by community governments to support firefighter training in their community.
