Chatham Kent Fire & Rescue’s school firefighter program is being expanded.
A joint project between the Lambton Kent District School Board and the fire service, the initiative exposes high school students to the realities of emergency services, fire prevention, safety and possible career opportunities.
The inaugural program was introduced earlier this year to Grade 10 students in the civics and careers course at Ridgetown District High School to great success. Students at Tilbury District High School and Blenheim District High School can look forward to the program in the 2023-24 school year.
