Applications are open through September 8 for the Greenville City Fire Department (GCFD) annual Citizens Fire Academy. The program offers a unique opportunity for citizens who live and work in Greenville to learn firsthand what it’s like to be a firefighter. In addition to touring the City’s fire stations and dispatch center, and meeting firefighters and 911 personnel, participants will have a variety of hands-on learning opportunities, including wearing personal protective equipment, experiencing a fire simulation, extinguishing a fire and learning CPR and basic first aid.
Classes will be held on Tuesday evenings, starting Oct. 3 at 6:30 p.m., and continuing weekly from October through November, at the department’s training facility, 688 Mauldin Road. Drinks and snacks are provided.
