Welcome to the National Emergency Training Center

2Ron Face November 24, 2003

In March of 1979 the Federal Government purchased this facility from the Daughter’s of Charity of the Provincial House at a cost of $3,514,000 to be the resident facility for the National Fire Academy (NFA).


This facility was the campus of the former St. Joseph’s College; an all female Catholic college, founded in 1809 by Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton.

St. Joseph’s closed its doors in 1972.


Nearby Mt. Saint Mary’s College, an all male Catholic College went co-ed to accommodate the closing and this campus sat vacant until our purchase in 1979.


The facility consists of 107 acres of land and 26 buildings, some of which date back to the early 1800s.

The entire facility is on the National Register of Historic Places


National Fallen Firefighters Memorial

This memorial was designated as a national monument in August of 1990 and recognizes career and volunteer firefighters who have died in the line of duty. The Memorial is located next to “H” building.


National Civil Defense/Emergency Management Monument

Dedicated on April 6, 2002, is the National Civil Defense/Emergency Management Monument in honor of those who serve in the field of civil defense and emergency management.


Our facility is known as the National Emergency Management Agency

It is home to the United States Fire Administration (USFA) the National Fire Academy and the Emergency Management Institute (EMI), and supporting activities.


The campus was officially dedicated on October 8, 1979 and the first NFA classes were offered here on January 21, 1980.


Through the programs offered by the NFA and EMI, FEMA promotes the professional development of our Nation’s emergency professionals.


NFA and EMI offer classes approximately 47 weeks a year.


Through its courses and programs, the NFA works to enhance the ability of the fire service and allied professions to deal effectively with fire and related emergencies.


We support 75 Special Groups each year consisting of 3,000 participants for a total of approximately 25,000 transient participants supported by the NETC.


The Emergency Management Institute is responsible for providing training to Federal, State, local governments and volunteer officials to enhance emergency management practices in the United States and US Territories through a nationwide program of resident and non-resident instruction.


Within NFA and EMI, emergency management and fire service professionals find experienced instructors, excellent facilities, undergraduate-level and graduate curricula that enable them to improve their skills significantly.


There are approximately 233 federal employees and 309 contractors employed at the training center to support all the activities conducted on the facility.


Noble Training Center is located at Fort McClellan, AL in Anniston. It is located 90 miles from Atlanta, GA and 60 Miles from Birmingham, AL.


The Noble Training Center will create, train, and evaluate the national medical team response to acts of terrorism and both natural and technological disasters.
