Students at Piedmont High School are getting the opportunity of a lifetime – a chance to participate in a new program sponsored by the Piedmont Fire Department. We visited with Piedmont Fire Chief Mike Ledbetter and a number of students on Thursday morning at Piedmont High School and got an opportunity to see the ‘Junior Firefighter’ Program in action. Chief Ledbetter said the idea for the program began when the number of volunteers in his department began to decline.
