Have you ever dreamed about being a firefighter? Do you want to learn more about what the Morrisville Fire/Rescue Department does? The Morrisville Fire/Rescue Department will give you an opportunity to test your abilities at our Community Fire Academy on Saturday, March 22, at Morrisville Fire Station 1, 200 Town Hall Drive. This free opportunity is limited to 20 people, and participants must be at least 18 years old.

Firefighters-for-a-day will go through some classroom sessions from 9 a.m. to noon, enjoy a provided lunch, and then get challenged with hands-on firefighting activities from 1-3 p.m.

"In addition to an up close and in-depth tour of facilities and apparatus, residents will receive limited, hands-on opportunities to include advancing hose lines, riding in an aerial platform, and executing a forcible open-door entry," said Fire Chief Nathan Lozinsky. "It'll be a great experience for everyone!"

Advance registration is required by March 13 at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D44AFAE22A1FA7-52277151-community . For more information, please contact Senior Administrative Support Assistant Bill Granger at (919) 463-6931 or wgranger@morrisvillenc.gov .
