Some of our cadets from class 77 had the opportunity to volunteer at this year’s 9/11 memorial climb in Dallas. This is the 25th year anniversary and they got to see firefighters from all over Texas participating in the climb. The DeSoto training center is lucky to have lots of our instructors take part. This event was overseen by Lauren Sanchez who was the event director.
