Preparing for Crises
The LSU Fire & Emergency Training Institute is rated among the top
university-based fire service training programs in the country. The institute
offers nearly 1,000 courses per year to more than 20,000 emergency responders
in Louisiana and nationwide, teaching them how to save lives and property.
The institute provides training to municipal, industrial, and rescue personnel
responding to emergencies such as hazardous materials releases, rescuing
severe trauma victims, and airport rescue and fire fighting. The training
helps municipal fire departments improve fire ratings, which reduces the
cost of fire and home insurance premiums for homeowners and communities
throughout Louisiana.
