Apparatus Donation

The Jefferson County Emergency Services Training Academy would like to send a huge thank you to the High Ridge Fire Protection District for their recent donation of a used fire apparatus to the Academy! We are soon starting our first ever Firefighter One and Two Academy Class to where we are accepting students with no fire service experience. This will give them a first hand opportunity to see the inner workings of a fire apparatus and train with the same fire apparatus throughout class. Thank you again High Ridge for their support!
