About the State Weekend Program

Applicants must be 18 years of age and should have three years of experience in emergency services.

This annual weekend program, offered exclusively for the emergency services personnel of Pennsylvania, is a joint venture of the National Fire Academy (NFA) Field Programs Division and the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy.

The NFA hosts the state weekend in Emmitsburg, Maryland, and provides the instructors and course materials. The PA State Fire Academy selects the courses and recruits and registers the participants according to established student selection criteria.
