Division Chief John O'Neal

 The Noblesville Fire Department's Training Division is responsible for the development, implementation, and maintenance of all training for suppressional   personnel. Its goal is to enhance the quality of Noblesville firefighters and ensure that the department is prepared for the modern emergencies of today. 

 

 In addition to ensuring that all current fire personnel meet annual, mandated training requirements, the Training Division is also responsible for arranging   recruit academies, company level training, multi-company level training, and special rescue/team training. Additionally, the division maintains all training   manuals, materials, and records.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Starting with the basic fire academy, firefighters are indoctrinated with the operating procedures of the Noblesville Fire Department, preparing them to work as integral members of the NFD team. As firefighters move up in both grade and rank, the training division coordinates, implements, and monitors all testing.

 

The Training Division of the Noblesville Fire Department is led by Division Chief John O’Neal.

 

 

 

 

Touted as one of the most realistic emergency management simulation training systems available, the Noblesville Fire Department is happy to have the ADMS Simulator as a training tool for our firefighters.

ADMS offers challenging, true-to-life, virtual environments for training incident command and disaster management teams at all levels. Trainees gain the confidence, practical experience, and decision-making skills needed to successfully resolve real-life incidents.
