Connecticut Fire Academy Donates Books to CREC's Public Safety Academy
(Enfield, CT) CREC’s Public Safety Academy recently received more than 50 textbooks and training manuals about fire service from the Connecticut Fire Academy.
“We appreciate the fire academy’s generosity and support, and we look forward to continuing to build a strong relationship with the fire academy and all of our community members as we develop tomorrow’s leaders today,” said school Principal Jeff Larson.
