The ultimate goal is to assist the in-service student to develop the appropriate skills and knowledge for professional fire protection. Pre-employment students may be admitted upon recommendation of the Fire Science Technology Department. Graduates of the program have been employed as industrial fire-protection specialists, safety technicians, fire insurance inspectors, inspection bureau representatives, state fire inspectors and municipal fire department employees, many of whom have earned their degree while employed in their area of specialty. Live-in Student Firefighter Program Various area fire departments, in cooperation with SMTC and Maine Fire Training and Education, are pleased to offer this exciting option to many of our fire science students. They have additional responsibilities and must provide their own meals.
