ESA. THE BEST ARE READY.

  • Get Fit with Fire!

    - March 10, 2013

    We are very excited that we have a fitness component in the ESA Fire - Enhanced Program.

    Fitness training sessions are provided for ESA Fire students as part of their training program.  Training is job specific and helps students prepare for the Candidate Competition during the final week of the ESA Fire Program, for future job competitions, and ultimately for a career as a fire fighter. 

    Training is facilitated by ESA instructors who are career fire fighters at Strathcona County Emergency Services.  It is a mix of body weight / functional exercise, crossfit and job specific training.  Sessions are at Little Sweatshop, Sherwood Park, a training center close to ESA.

    The fitness component started in March, 2013.  Fees are included in the ESA Fire fees.

FROM THE BEST...

"On July 2, 2019 I officially started my career as a (probationary) firefighter with the Grande Prairie Fire Department. I succeeded in all the steps; exams, physical fitness test, phobia exams, swim test, interview and station assessment. I made the one spot they were offering out of the 50 plus applicants that started with the aptitude exam. The hard work, determination, and dedication to such an honourable and respected career has finally paid off and it wouldn't have been possible without the help from yourself (Ian Clavelle), ESA and the ESA staff."
