Going To The National Fire Academy (NFA) For The First Time?

Travel

If flying To:

You are responsible for making your own travel arrangements. Airfare is reimbursed by the NETC upon successful completion of training. Anticipate security inspection delays and schedule your connecting flights accordingly.

When you arrive at Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) airport, proceed to the lower baggage claim area and pick up your luggage. Then proceed to the area outside of door 10 and 11. The inner lane of traffic is for taxi cabs and city busses. You need to be in the median on the outer lane of traffic for the NETC busses between door 10 and 11.

Look for other firefighters, which maybe just as lost as you are, and proceed to the median between the two lanes of traffic. The bus that has a red sign in the front window on the lower right side that says NETC
