Students at Benbrook Middle High School recently had a chance to learn what life in the fire service looks like, thanks to a visit from the Benbrook Fire Department during the school’s Career Expo.
Firefighters spoke with students about the many paths available in the profession after graduation. Along the way, they shared how the job goes beyond responding to emergencies. It is also a career that centers on serving the community while offering a schedule that can allow time for college courses, advanced certifications, or other professional interests.
For many students, events like the Career Expo offer a first look at careers that make a direct impact in their own city. Firefighters also answered questions about training, daily responsibilities, and what it takes to pursue the profession.
The Benbrook Fire Department says opportunities to connect with students are always meaningful, especially when it opens the door for the next generation to consider public service.
