The North Richland Hills Fire Department is taking applications for the next Citizens Fire Academy. The Citizens Fire Academy will begin April 10 and continue each Thursday from 7 to 10 p.m. for 8 weeks.

The program includes training in CPR and First Aid, which enable residents to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations in their homes and neighborhoods. Participants will also see hands on demonstrations in basic firefighting techniques, auto extrication, extinguisher use, technical rescue, hazardous materials, and a demonstration of the Bomb Squad’s capabilities.
