🚗 They may have spent the day tearing cars apart, but they also made plenty of memories along the way.

🛠️ Who knew Jenga could be part of firefighter training?

Class #128 put their precision to the test using hydraulic rescue tools to carefully move and stack pieces of wood. While the exercise may look simple, it helps develop the control and finesse needed when operating rescue equipment in real-world situations.

The fire service requires more than learning skills. It requires the willingness to face challenges and push past your comfort zone.

Dual Credit students from Wills Point High School, Gladewater, and Marshall trained on chainsaw operations, hose handling, apparatus operations, and ladder skills. Along the way, students built confidence, gained hands-on experience, and learned that sometimes the biggest obstacle to overcome is yourself.

Future firefighters in the making! 🔥🚒

This week, students from Gladewater, Marshall, and Wills Point HS joined us at the Fire Academy to get hands-on experience with fire service skills and training. From learning basic techniques to working through practical exercises, these students got a firsthand look at what it takes to serve their communities in the fire service.

We appreciate the opportunity to work with the next generation and look forward to seeing where their future takes them!
