Aberdeen Fire Department and Twin Harbors Skills Center provide free fire classes for students
The Aberdeen Fire Department and the Twin Harbors Skills Center have partnered to offer a Fire Science training course this summer.
“This new program will give students the opportunity to explore the fields of firefighting and emergency medical services as a career path,” Fire Chief Dave Golding said. “This training will be conducted by firefighters from the Aberdeen Fire Department and will cover classroom and hands-on applications of fire and EMS skills.”
Fire Science is offered from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., M-F, July 10 to July 26.
The program will cover basic firefighting techniques including personal protective equipment, portable fire extinguishers, water supply, ladders, fire hose basics, use of self-contained breathing apparatus, patient care, and extrication techniques.
