rickyrescue Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 My local school district made an Regional Occupation Program (RoP) class students who want to join the Fire service. Its a pre-Academy if you would say getting students ready for the real Academy.http://wshfta.weebly.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KieferMatthewHandschuh Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 looks cool! my fire academy actually allows junior fd to take full fire class but just have to take a refresher before they're certified at 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
