Program Information

Application deadline is February 18, 2011

We would all like to welcome you to the Odessa Fire Department’s Citizens Fire Academy. This program is intended to familiarize and inform you, our customers and associates, of the services we provide, how we operate, and why we do the things we do.

As you attend our program, we hope you will find it interesting, informative and challenging. You will be given the opportunity to participate in various “hands-on” operations. Performing hands-on operations is strictly voluntary and left up to the decision of the participant.

After completing the program, we hope you will take your knowledge of how your Fire Department operates into the community and share it with your friends and associates. We believe you will be able to educate others about the Odessa Fire Department and that you will have a better understanding of our duties, responsibilities and capabilities to serve the community.

Thank you for taking time out from your busy schedule to participate in this program. We believe you will find it to be fun, rewarding and an educational experience.

Sincerely,
 
Roger Boyd, Fire Chief
