Class 74 has had a busy couple of weeks, and they’ve been putting in the work.

Over the past two weeks, recruits have been training hard on ventilation, search, and hose handling — building the skills, confidence, and teamwork it takes to operate safely and effectively on the fireground.

We are now just two weeks out from Fire 1 live fire, and this class continues to show steady progress, determination, and commitment to the job.

Keep pushing, Class 74. The work you’re putting in now matters.

This week, Class 74 put in serious work on forcible entry and ladder operations. We trained on forcing doors and windows, tackling burglar bars—anything that stands between us and getting inside to help. We also drilled ground ladder throws, ladder selection, and safe, efficient climbing techniques.

Huge thank-you to Cresson VFD for bringing out their ladder truck. Our cadets got hands-on time with the aerial—climbing at a 70° angle and learning what 75 feet really feels like once you’re on the rungs. We capped it off with PT to keep building the strength and stamina this job demands.

Proud of the progress and teamwork—Class 74 keeps raising the bar. Stay tuned for more as we gear up for a big week ahead. 🚒🪓🧗‍♂️💪

Thank you: VFD

Week 3 at Weatherford College Fire Academy was all about fundamentals, teamwork, and honoring sacrifice. Our cadets focused on firefighter safety, drilled with fire extinguishers, and spent time mastering rope work and essential knots—skills that save time and lives on the fireground.

On Friday, marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Flight 93, our cadets completed a 110-story stair climb—starting on air—to honor the 343 fallen firefighters and all who lost their lives. Their commitment, grit, and respect were on full display. We will never forget.

Week 2 Recap: Our cadets dove into fire dynamics and reinforced safety with a deep focus on personal protective equipment (PPE). They also completed air consumption drills using their SCBA to build confidence and endurance under air. We wrapped each day with dedicated physical fitness to keep everyone strong and ready. Proud of the progress—keep pushing, Class!
