The Cary Fire and Rescue Department Training and Safety Group consists of two training captains that manage the training programs, which includes state mandated training in firefighting, technical rescue, hazardous materials, incident command and emergency medical technician for the suppression group.

This group also coordinates an in-house leadership development program tailored for the development of knowledgeable and capable company and chief officers. The department maintains a delivery agency status with the North Carolina Department of Insurance that allows the department to train and certify our employees in-house during the recruit academy.

This group handles all health and safety issues and continually monitors regulations imposed by the NFPA and OSHA regarding health and safety regulations. Training captains respond as safety officers to all hazardous material incidents, structure fires, and mass casualty incidents.
