High school students in the Dells area will have fire training and certification available to them starting this fall.
The Wisconsin Dells School District, in conjunction with Delton Fire Department and Kilbourn Fire Department, is offering a specialized introductory fire fighting course every other Wednesday, starting in the 2022-23 school year at Wisconsin Dells High School.
"We're looking at hosting a class at the high school next school year where students sign up and could take a basic, introductory-level course to get started," said Dells High School Principal Hugh Gaston. "I'm in the recruitment phase right now of getting kids to sign up and marketing the message."
Juniors and seniors at the high school are eligible to take the course, with the signup period being near the end of the previous school year.
