Training Division > Basic Recruit Training (BRT)

The Kenosha Fire Department BRT program continuously is updated to ensure our fire recruits receive the best possible training. Updates have included formal pre-BRT instructor training, curriculum expansion, recruit conduct policies, 100 recruit benchmarks, daily and weekly evaluations, performance improvement methods, probationary firefighter preparation, and a detailed program evaluation where the instructors are anonymously evaluated by the recruits. What resulted was a superior program that produced turn-key probationary firefighters. From their first day in the station our recruits have an extensive knowledge of all operations a firefighter is responsible for. The program not only produces superior firefighters but that it also saves the lives of all firefighters on our department and those fine citizens we are charged to serve. We look forward to the perpetual improvement of our program in the future.
