CPFD "Kick the tires and light the fires"

College Place fire department trainees wait for their turn at putting out a controlled car fire. The trainees worked in the rain on Wednesday evening, Feb. 25. One of the trainees, Sean Martin, is an aviation major at Walla Walla University. He's been in the fire department training program since the beginning of January. “My favorite part of program is the live fire training,” Sean said. “The car fire was definitely a blast! Probably one of the funnest things we have done yet.” Once he completes the training Sean plans on working for the College Place fire department for the remainder of his college career, then he says he will “see where God leads from there.”
