West Seattle Fire Academy
Aspiring firefighters in Seattle follow a tough training at the West Seattle Fire Academy. Often, strong friendships are formed during the hard times and remain intact throughout the firefighters' careers, for example Andy Herrera and Maya Bishop as well as Jack Gibson and Dean Miller.

Cadets

 * Kathleen
 * Laura (dropped out)

Medic One
Medic One is a special program run by the Seattle Fire Department that trains firefighters to provide prehospital basic and advanced life support. The fact that they are allowed to start advanced life support sets them apart from regular firefighters, who are also qualified EMTs in Seattle. It's often viewed as an elite program as only the very best manage to get in. Currently, Ben Warren is studying to get in.

Given the medical nature of the program, Richard Webber once mentioned it would be eligible to qualify as a fellowship.

Notes and Trivia

 * A somewhat unique characteristic for the Seattle Fire Department is the fact that all firefighters are required to complete an EMT training, meaning all firefighters are also qualified EMTs.
 * The department organizes peer groups where troubled firefighters come together to talk about tough calls. Lucas Ripley, Travis Montgomery and Victoria Hughes attended at least once after the skyscraper fire.
 * While the uniforms, gear and vehicles shown in Station 19 are true to the real versions of the SFD, the locations in the show and station and battalion numbers are entirely fictional.
 * For example, Station 19 does not exist. The exterior used for Station 19 is actually the real Station 20. The set was modelled after that station. In reality, Station 20 only has an engine and no ladder or aid car.
 * As with Station 19, the other mentioned stations so far (7, 12, 23, 42, and 71) do not exist in reality.
