Seven members of the DeKalb County Fire Department graduated from the Tennessee Fire Service and Codes Enforcement Training Academy’s Live Burn Firefighter I class that was held Saturday and Sunday, December 4 and 5.

Completing the course locally were William Odom, Matthew Olson, Robert Sutton, Christina Hovey, Heather Lader, Phillip Coats, and Anthony Scott.

“This 16-hour course requires students to demonstrate skills needed to extinguish a passenger vehicle fire attack, exterior Class A fire attack, interior structure fire attack, commercial buildings and ground cover fire attack, said Captain Brian Williams. “We are extremely proud of these recent graduates. Today, our department stands better prepared to respond to emergencies because of the high standards for training we set for our firefighters,” he said.
