On Friday, April 9, 2021, the Idaho State Fire Marshal’s Office collaborated with Idaho students from the NASKCO Construction class in fire prevention project.
NASKCO Construction High Schools (NASKCO makes up the first two letters in Nampa, Skyview, and Columbia) constructed a fire safety prop in the form of a miniature house for the State Fire Marshal’s Office to use for training purposes.
Fire Plans Examiner Javier Cervantes, also a volunteer with the NASKCO Construction student program, asked the class if they would be interested in building training props for the State Fire Marshal’s Office. The class agreed and, in return, professionally trained firefighters demonstrated how the training props would be used to show the path of fire flow and ventilation.
“It’s an awesome opportunity to have things like this happen to further educate the kids,” said NASKCO class instructor Bret Miller.
