HTHS Fire and Emergency Services Academy receives check
In a presentation at Hewitt-Trussville High School on Oct. 30, the Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce presented a $1,000 check to the Hewitt-Trussville Fire and Emergency Services Academy. The check came from the proceeds of the 2nd Annual First Responders Breakfast, held in May.
The academy prepares students for a career as first responders. Instruction is led by certified instructors from Trussville Fire & Rescue in cooperation with Trussville City Schools. Students will learn a variety of topics in emergency medicine as well as firefighting and fire science.
On hand for the check presentation were Trussville Fire Chief Tim Shotts and Lt. Chris Franklin from the Trussville Fire Department, who is the instructor at the Academy, as well as Principal Tim Salem, Assistant Principal Joy Young and several of the Academy’s students. Representing the chamber were TACC Board President Johnny Amari and TACC Executive Director Diane Poole.
