For the past several years, our department has proudly partnered with the Hutchinson Community College Fire Science Program by hosting student interns each semester. These interns are assigned to a shift and, when not attending classes, work regular shift hours alongside our personnel. This partnership not only provides valuable support for our crews, but also gives the students hands-on training and real-world experience in the fire service.

This semester, we were fortunate to have three outstanding interns who are wrapping up their time with us this week. As a parting gift, they presented our department with this incredible handmade flag — a truly meaningful addition to our station that reflects the pride and tradition of the fire service.

We want to wish the very best to Hunter, Landon, and Simon as they continue their careers. They are graduating and two are preparing to begin their journeys with fire departments that are gaining a pair of exceptional recruit firefighters. The third is in the running for a full-time position, and we have no doubt he has a bright future ahead of him as well.

Thank you again, Hunter, Landon, and Simon. We appreciate your hard work, dedication, and professionalism, and we wish you all the best in the future!

Our annual Fire Department Recruitment Day was a great success, bringing together 15 fire departments from across the state! The event provided an opportunity for departments to connect with our current students, share information about careers in fire service, and highlight the importance of public safety professions. We appreciate all participating agencies for their time and commitment to developing the next generation of first responders.

Meet RC Watson!

He’s one of the faces behind our Fire Science program and someone students love learning from.

RC got into this field because no two days are ever the same, and that’s exactly what he still loves about it. His favorite part of the job? Working alongside students and watching them grow into future firefighters and leaders in their communities.

We’re proud to have instructors like RC teaching at HutchCC!
