The San Marcos Fire Department will sponsor its sixth Citizens Fire Academy this fall, starting Aug. 15 and running to Nov. 7.
The Citizens Fire Academy offers a 12 week course of classroom and hands-on experience to increase fire and life safety awareness, to be aware of the services that the Fire Department provides and promote a positive image of the department to the community.
Classes cover a department overview, ground operations, EMS with CPR and AED certification, swift water rescue and rope rescues, fire extinguisher training, fire safety and fire science.
Students also learn about personal protective gear, ground ladders and aerial operations, pump operations, vehicle extrication, hazardous materials, and live fire training with full protective gear and breathing apparatus.
To register for the free academy, you must either work or live in the City of San Marcos. Class size is limited to 15 cadets, and spots will fill quickly.
Application and liability forms can be found on the City of San Marcos SMFD Citizens Fire Academy web page sanmarcostx.gov/cfa or for more information, contact the San Marcos Fire Department at 512.805.2660.
