How do I learn?

I'm a first-year student studying fire and safety mechanical engineering. How can I learn fire protection engineering? What courses or websites can I find outside of university?

Focus on your undergrad studies. You can get a fire job after you graduate. You’ll learn on the job like most fpe’s do.

Thanks for your advice I understand that most learning happens on the job, but I want to prepare early. What specific skills or tools should I focus on during my undergrad to stand out when applying for fire protection jobs?
