-- Jose Paul Corona

Local firefighters earlier this month gave interested students a look

at what it takes to become a firefighter or paramedic by visiting local

schools.

Firefighters made appearances at various career day programs in

schools throughout Huntington Beach. Oak View Elementary School, Sowers

Middle School and Marina High School were some of the schools that

firefighters visited between May 30 and June 4.

Firefighters told students about how they could start preparing for

careers in firefighting or as paramedics. The firefighters discussed what

type of education is needed to become a firefighter along with the type

of traits that firefighters need to posses in order to be successful.
