Johnson Township Fire Academy Class Ends After Sixteen Week Course

Twenty eight students have successfully completed all of
the training and testing to become Indiana certified firefighters.

It has been a long 16 week course with a lot of late nights away from family in class and doing homework. The same goes for all the hard hands on training that they all went through as well.

Firefighters were from Frankfort, Kirklin, Johnson Township, Colfax, Forest, Russiaville, Camden, Flora, Rossville, and a few other out of the community areas.

The classes started in September and were set to finish up mid January to receive their certifications. They spent four hours two nights a week learning hazmat and over two hundred different skills required for their State certification. Their were six to ten certified instructors out at the facility each time to help teach the required skills.

Clinton County Daily News was invited to come out and see first hand what goes on in these classes and grab some photographs so the community can also see what a trained firefighter does and learns to become certified.
After the training is completed they also have to take the state tests.

Now these men and women can faithfully serve the members of their communities and help to keep us all a little safer.
