The Federal Emergency Management Agency - Emergency Management Institute offers online independent study programs that are required for most first responders. The Chili Fire Department, along with the Monroe County Fire Bureau and New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control, requires that its members take and pass the National Incident Management System - Incident Command Structure classes at the 100, 200 and 700 level. Chili RAMs/Jrs are not required to take these classes but are strongly encouraged to do so as they will be required in Firefighter 1 class or any EMS class in New York State.
