The Yarmouth County Mutual Aid Association (YCMAA) is committed to supporting training opportunities for firefighters across our region. Strong training means stronger mutual aid — when an emergency calls for departments to work together, that preparation makes a real difference. This page will keep you up to date on upcoming courses, how to register, and anything else you need to know to get involved.

Upcoming Training

YCMAA has sourced three one-day courses based on feedback from our member survey. These courses are open to firefighters at all levels — whether you are brand new or a seasoned officer, we encourage you to attend.

Available Courses

Managing a Mayday - August 30th (one day)
Essential for fire officers and recommended for anyone who has completed Incident Command. Covers mayday statistics, fire ground decision-making, and running a mayday scene on a command simulator.
