About CCFD5

In 1999 the Board of Commissioners for Clark County Fire Protection District 5 recognized a need for occupational health and safety training in southwest Washington.  The Northwest Regional Training Center opened in 2000 as a division of Fire District 5, and since that time has provided training in a variety of areas, including:  First Aid, CPR, and Advanced Life Support training through the American Heart Association; OSHA and WISHA required training for over 500 municipal public works employees in the Clark County area; and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) training under the direction of the State of Washington Department of Health.

Since its inception, the Fire District 5 Public Education Training Center has trained in excess of 50,000 students in these various disciplines, and continues to be a leader in cost effective training throughout the region.
