Fire Science Technology AAS
Blinn College Fire Science Program started on September 1, 1994. The Fire Science Program was developed in response to local and national needs for an advanced degree in the field of fire protection and life safety. In 2006, the Blinn College Board of Trustees approved expanding the college's Fire Science Program to include training at the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) world-renowned Brayton Fire Training Field in College Station, TX. The board approved a memorandum of agreement with TEEX, a member of the Texas A&M University System. The partnership allows Blinn fire science students to receive 12 weeks of practical training with firefighter props, equipment, and apparatus in addition to classroom instruction in fire protection, life safety, and program management.
