That’s a forward-looking move on the County’s part.  Read the full story by clicking on HERE.

Firegeezer says:  This makes sense because, let’s face it, when a herd of kiddies is brought around to the station for a visit, it’s always the rookie who gets sent out there to talk to them.  Right?

    Arlington County has taken the importance of Public Fire Education for new recruits to a new level with this program. We have always said that Public Education and Fire Prevention was every firfighters job, and it starts when that person first comes in to the Department.

    A possible model for the future of Recruit Schools.
