The Rio Hondo Regional Truck Academy is an intensive, 11-day (88-hour) training course designed for the Professional Firefighter. No matter what size department you work for, this course is for you! This is a great training opportunity that always fills up fast!
Our instructors come from various Fire Departments in Southern California. We teach with the mentality that there is more than one way of doing things and often call ourselves “Facilitators” rather than Instructors.
