Fire Academy
By: Haydn Jones
Dear Parents of Theta Beta,
Leadership is an essential part within our Delta Delta Delta chapter and I had the chance to explore my leadership qualities through Leadership Fire Academy. A program created in early 2000’s to develop and promote fire safety throughout the Greek System for those who own greek residences. Each Panhellenic and IFC Greek organization all sent representation and we were all selected into “engine” teams. We learned the basic training of the Firefighter Academy, for example, combat training, search and rescue including full gear of mask, helmet, oxygen tank, jacket, gloves, and pants, fire science, and fire safety. We all received priceless, beneficial knowledge for wherever we reside and the facts to spread the knowledge to our roommates, sisters, friends and family so in turn the can stay fire safe too. It was a humbling experience a snip it of the training of a firefighter and we love and respect our Boulder Fire department everyday for keeping the students of CU and the Greek community safe.
