When can I access videos?

How do I go into fullscreen mode?

Be sure you have a JavaScript-enabled browser. You may also have security software blocking the playback or scripting. Try temporarily disabling your security software as a test, or configure your security software to allow playback, cookies, and popups from www.FireRescue1Academy.com.

Why does the streaming video keep pausing?

You may be experiencing slow data transfer. If you pause the movie and wait for more (or all) of it to download before you resume playing, it will play without stopping. You can tell how much of the video has downloaded by looking at the controller bar at the bottom of the player window. You will see the bar fill in with gray, from left to right, as the video downloads. Once the controller bar is completely filled in with gray, the video has finished downloading.

Why is the video not available or playing back?

Should you encounter such an issue, and your computer meets the system requirements, please email us and we will send you instructions to perform a quick test that will assist in determining a solution.

Why can’t I view videos from my mobile device?

Check the Mobile Device Requirements to see if you are using a compatible mobile device and operating system. In most cases, upgrading to the most recent operating system will resolve the issue.

Can I create my own playlists?

As a subscriber, you have access to download and store as many videos as you would like on your personal computer. PoliceOne.com is working on a feature that will allow you to create a “My Account” playlist, as well.

How can I upload my own videos or courses?

If you would like to upload your department’s videos or courses, please submit them directly to us at support@fireemsacademy.com. You can choose to make them available for all FireRescue1 Academy subscribers or have them visible for your department only.
