The A PLUS mentor program held an event on Sunday May 1, taking the students in the program to Seattle Fire Station 28. Those in attendance were given a tour the facility and learned about the history of Seattle’s fire and emergency medic programs. They also competed in a relay-race, wound a 100-foot water hose, observed the components of the rigorous firefighter training program and learned about the leadership, professional and educational skills and requirements it takes to become an eligible candidate for the job.
