Bonita Springs Fire Control & Rescue District

CERT Basic Training Application

The Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District (BSFD) recognizes the public's need for thorough disaster preparedness training on a variety of disasters and emergencies, specific to Bonita Springs. The BSFD has taken a proactive stance in this area by training citizens to be part of Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT).

The CERT Program provides education about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact Bonita Springs and trains citizens in basic disaster response skills. Topics such as Introduction to Disasters, Disaster Medical Care, Fire Suppression, Search and Rescue, and Disaster Planning will be taught to all who attend.

After completing the two-day training, CERT volunteers will be better prepared to respond and cope with the aftermath of natural or manmade disasters. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can be called upon to assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.

Classes will be held from approximately 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and are taught at the Bonita Springs Fire Station at 27701 Bonita Grande Drive.
