Senegal's National School of Firefighters (École nationale des sapeurs-pompiers, ENSP), located in Thiès, serves as a key institution for the professional training of fire officers in the country. The school admits personnel from the Defence and Security Forces (Forces de défense et de sécurité, FDS) as well as actors from the national public and private sectors, making it a cross-sector training hub.
The ENSP offers structured curricula designed to equip future officers with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in fire prevention, emergency response, and civil protection. The school's programs are aligned with international standards in firefighting and rescue operations, aiming to raise the overall level of fire safety competence across Senegal.
By opening its doors to both military personnel and civilian professionals, the ENSP plays a strategic role in building a unified and capable emergency response workforce. Graduates are expected to take on leadership roles within fire brigades and civil protection units across the country, contributing to improved public safety infrastructure in Senegal.
