SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Fire Academy is mandated
under the Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–498) to provide training
and education to the Nation’s fire service and emergency service personnel. The state ofthe-art programs offered by the National Fire Academy serve as models of excellence and
State and local fire service agencies rely heavily on the curriculum to train their
personnel. To maintain the quality of these training programs, it is critical that courses be
evaluated after students have had the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills
gained from their training. Information collected from the evaluation forms enables the
U.S. Fire Administration and National Fire Academy staff to monitor and recommend
changes in course materials, individual subject selection criteria, and to make curriculumwide reviews and assessments.
