Our hearts are with our local businesses and everyone impacted by last night’s sudden storm. Seeing businesses in our community face damage and disruption is heartbreaking, especially for the small business owners who work so hard to serve Watauga.
Please keep our local businesses, employees, and families in your thoughts as they begin the cleanup and recovery process.

September 24, 2026 - Introductions, Rules of Engagement, Fire Department History, and Station Tour
October 1, 2026 - PPE & SCBA with Apparatus Tour
October 8, 2026 - EMS Expo – Stop the Bleed, CPR, and First Aid
October 15, 2026 - Vehicle Extrication & Air Medical Operations

November 5 - Search & Rescue Operations
November 12, 2026 - Live Fire & Scenario Day (Final Fire Night)

🎓 A formal graduation ceremony will be held in the Spring following completion of the Police Department semester.

This is a great opportunity to go behind the scenes, meet the people who serve our community, learn about public safety operations, and gain a better understanding of the important work performed by our Fire and Police Departments.
