High school students in Loudoun County considering careers as firefighters and EMTs are getting extraordinary hands on training. They did a fire training exercise, in which some of the firefighters are actually students. "It’s a great feeling when you’re in the engine and you have the sirens going. It’s a certain feeling you can’t describe," said 17-year-old Joseph DeCarlo. Joseph describes this as the best class he’s ever taken in high school. Remarkably this training is part of Monroe Technology Center’s career and technical program, which prepares students like Joseph for a lifetime of public service.
