Rancho Santiago Community College District, and these funds now need to be
appropriated into the Fire Department's budget.
Training curriculum sponsored by Santa Ana College is chosen based on the guidelines
set forth by the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (CCCCO). Curriculum
is divided into several different courses that are required by Cal -OSHA and designed for
large group instruction. The Fire Department utilizes subject matter experts to conduct
the training to address the required material by CCCCO. Training hours are recorded by
Fire Department personnel within the current records management system. The total
number of hours are then calculated each semester by the Fire Department's Training
Captain and submitted as an invoice to Santa Ana College.
Funds received from Santa Ana College give the Fire Department the ability to pay for
outside instructors when the department does not have a subject matter expert for
required training. These funds also provide the ability for the Fire Department to purchase
improved training aids, books, materials and equipment. Santa Ana College funds assist
the Fire Department with meeting other operational needs which go beyond the Fire
Department's available fiscal year budget.
