B16 Terrace Review — Wednesday, July 11, 1990 Asak certified in. Fire Academy CLIFF ASAK Cliff Asak of the Nisga’a In- dian Band was one of four B.C. . native firefighters who __ stitute-(JI) of B.C.’s fire training officers program June 3. _ Asak and the other instructors are experienced fire service volunteers who were selected for training through 4 competition. They graduated from a train- ing program that gives them cer- tification as B.C. fire training officers in the JI’s Fire Academy. Asak is a captain with the volunteer fire district in the Nass Valley where he has lived all his life. He has been with the VFP since its inception six years ago. Under contract with Indian and Northern Affairs Canada the Fire Academy at the Justice Institute chose the native firefighters to train in municipal fire protection for native band fire departments. “Indian Affairs needed to train native band fire depart- ments, so instead of hiring trainers and setting up a separate -system, they brought their best -eandidates to us,’ Fire Academy director Paul Smith said. “It’s a great example of how the JI can work with all levels of government,’’ Smith said. The new instructors will con- duct a total of 81 courses at In- dian band locations around the province. When that round of courses is complete they will be eligible for further contract work as trainers. “Their future employability in municipal and -federal fire departments will also be greatly enhanced by the training officers program,’’ Smith said. The fire training officers curriculum in- cluded intensive instructional techniques, incident command and technical skills develop- ment. They learned how to han- dle fires in buildings, cars and aircraft, and trained in pro- cedures for handling dangerous goods and medical emergencies. Since 1983 the Fire Academy has offered training to native ' band fire departments in B.C. and Saskatchewan. The 1990-91 program breaks new ground by employing native instructors to offer the courses. Located in Vancouver, the JI provides justice and public safe- ty training through five : academies and the educational ; service division. Academies train : police, fire, ambulance and cor- pe rections officers. — | eer ee graduated from the Justice In- _ Coming events...
