Solano Community College has doubled the length of its fire training program as part of its efforts to better serve employers.
The previous academy consisted of 360 hours but has been expanded to 720 hours. It also has been revamped to include a more advanced curriculum, school officials said.
Vacaville Fire Department Chief Frank Drayton said employers can directly hire cadets after they complete the courses, according to a college announcement.
