Have you ever wondered about how your local fire department does what it does? What the training and equipment are like? Or maybe you’ve always wanted to hold a live fire hose. Then read on, because this great FREE program was designed with you in mind.
The West Webster Fire Department is hosting a Citizens Academy, which will answer these and many other questions you might have. It’s a six-week program held Sept. 18 through Oct. 23, and is geared towards the residents of the West Webster Fire District.
The WWFD describes the program on their flyer:
The relationship between the local fire department and the citizens it serves has often been one of curiosity and interest in the specific role that the department plays. On occasion there are some misunderstandings about the daily responsibilities of the fire department and how they contribute to our community.
This Citizens Academy held by the West Webster Fire District will provide an overview of the history of the fire service and your local department, along with the services of the Monroe County Fire Bureau. Additionally, participants will have hands-on experience and education about equipment and trucks.
The six-week program will be held every Monday night from Sept. 18 through Oct. 23, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the West Webster Fire District headquarters, 1051 Gravel Rd. There’s no charge, and registrations are being taken through the Webster Recreation Center. Click here to register online (program # is 326206-A) or call the Rec Center at 872-7103.
