College Program
In 2004 New Hope developed an innovative way to supplement our ranks with additional volunteers. We instituted a College Program for students interested in firefighting, or for students that have left their home departments to attend college, as a means to keep up their certification training hours.
College students spend two twelve hour shifts a month at the station and respond to calls with our paid staff. In return, the department provides them with the needed training, equipment, as well as provides them with a comfortable environment in which they may study during down time.
Our station is equipped with wireless internet and several private offices in which to work and study. |
