The Olive Hill Fire-Rescue will hold their first annual Citizens Fire Academy beginning the first Monday in January, and continuing each Monday through February, from 6 – 9 p.m. at the Olive Hill Fire-Rescue department on Tygart Street in Olive Hill.
Anyone 18 or older with “a desire to get out of their comfort zone, and learn in both a classroom and hands-on setting,” is invited to participate in classes on topics such as the history of fire service, personal protective equipment, victim search & rescue, fire dynamics, fire ground operations, hazardous materials, vehicle extrication, and emergency medical first response.
This eight-week course is designed to give you a chance to experience what it is like to operate as a member of a firefighting agency. For more information, contact Jeremy Rodgers at j.rodgers@cityofolivehill.com
