Some of them could be on the front lines fighting wildfires in Utah as soon as they graduate from high school. This week students in the Fire Science Program at the Jordan Academy for Technology and Careers are putting their skills and endurance to the test in some extreme conditions as they learn to become full-fledged firefighters.
The students, along with their Unified Fire instructor, are at the Magna Unified Fire Training Tower learning how to navigate their way out of confined spaces in a training maze, how to manage attack lines inside a building, and how to safely operate ground ladders. They are also getting hands-on training in controlling fire hose lines under pressure.
We are proud of the students and this program preparing future firefighters for the important work they will do.
