The Atlanta Fire Rescue Department is accepting applications for the Citizens Fire Academy, which offers residents and community leaders an inside look at the services provided by the fire department. The program will educate participants about fire prevention, rescue, communication and hazardous materials identification, as well as fire extinguisher training, basic first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
“We encourage Atlanta residents to participate in this fun and informative program,” said Fire Chief Joel Baker. “The Citizens Fire Academy gives participants the opportunity to learn valuable fire safety lessons while getting a first-hand look at the operations of the department.”
The free, eight-week program will begin on Sept. 9 and continue for seven consecutive Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. through Oct. 28, at the Atlanta Fire Rescue Training Academy, 407 Ashwood Avenue S.W.
