Training for the incipient facility fire brigade member focuses on the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to safely attack incipient (early stages) fires only. Incipient fire brigade members are not required to wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or thermal protective clothing so they must be able to safely combat a fire without having to enter an environment that is Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH). In this course, students will learn how to fight the fire effectively using only portable fire extinguishers or small handlines. Live fire hands-on scenarios involve the use of portable fire extinguishers, small hand lines, and master streams.
At the end of the course, participants are required to complete a written exam (minimum 70% pass requirement) and practical evaluation. Successful students will receive IFSAC certification issued by the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency.

I chose Suncrest College because of the small class sizes and short wait time for admission vs Regina/Saskatoon. The best thing about the PCP program at Suncrest College was the chance to spend more time with instructors.
