The students attended a career fair in the morning which gave them opportunities to <br />talk to vendors in the Fire & EMS fields. Lane <br />Community College, the Red Cross FAST Team, <br />911 Communications Center, Eugene Human <br />Resources Department and Rural Metro <br />Ambulance were all vendors that provided <br />information to the students on careers in <br />emergency medicine, nursing, dispatching, fire <br />fighting, and first aid. The purpose of the career <br />fair was to get hiring and enrollment information <br />directly into the hands of the students that will <br />soon be joining the workforce and encourage <br />them to consider Fire & EMS as possible career <br />choices. The afternoon was spent giving the <br />students tours of the fire station, 911 <br />Communications Center and rides in an antique <br />fire truck. The students were then given an <br />opportunity to perform some real firefighting <br />tasks such as using a fire extinguisher, using a <br />fire hose to put out a live fire and using the tools <br />of a fire fighter in an obstacle course.
