Below is a picture of the 2013-2014 CUSD ROP Firefighting Technology senior students that have been accepted in to the Fresno City College (FCC) Fire Academy. It is exciting to note that all Five (5) of CUSD High Schools are represented in these seven students. They will start the rigorous 20 week Firefighter 1 Academy on July 28th 2014, and complete it on December 11, 2014. All of these students have excelled in the CUSD ROP Firefighting Technology program and should have bright futures in the Fire Service. Pictured are: Front row – Left to right:
Jenna Cutting (Buchanan), Ty Kammerer (Clovis North), Ryann Hernandez (Clovis West)
Back Row – Left to Right: Kendra Smith (Buchanan), Christian Souza (Clovis High), Nathan Hansen (Clovis High), Christopher Hurt (Clovis North)
