EULESS (WBAP/KLIF)- Euless community members get an inside look on the Euless Fire Department’s daily procedures.
The Euless Fire Citizens Academy is a completely free program where citizen’s ranging from 18 to 80, get to engage with fire fighters once a week for 10 weeks. Education Coordinator Ken Rawlinson said it let’s them know that they are doing more than just fighting fires. “The different EMS and rescue-based calls, the significant amounts of training, just all the things that make up the day to day routine of the fire department,” he said.
The program is completely free and it teaches citizen’s fire safety and offers live fire training scenarios and one on one demonstration. “There are definitely practical things they can take with them from the class,” Rawlinson said.
Not only do they learn safety tips and fire prevention, Rawlinson says they build a lasting relationship with firefighters in their community. For more information visit http://www.eulesstx.gov/fire/cfa.htm
