Students in the Public Safety Program at the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center now have a fire truck to use for hands-on training thanks to Alcoa Warrick Operations. On Tuesday, Alcoa Plant Protection Chief Harold Grossman and Location Manager, Warrick Operations, Jeff Boris, officially handed over the keys to the fully equipped fire truck to SICTC Public Safety Instructor Rick Schnautz.
“This fire truck will really help give our students real-world training and give them a leg up when they graduate if they want to pursue a career in public safety,” Schnautz said. “It will give them the opportunity to get familiar with the equipment used on fire trucks as well as the equipment used for Jaws of Life.”
The fire truck is officially being retired from use at Alcoa Warrick Operations, and because of Alcoa’s long commitment and support of SICTC, the decision was made to donate the truck to the program.
