Fort Worth's bravest are opening their doors—or rather, their training grounds—to the public. In a fresh initiative aimed at educating citizens about the perils and behavior of fire, the Fort Worth Fire Department will host the first session of their monthly Citizen's Fire Academy. Set to feature a live "Dollhouse Burn", onlookers will get an up-close look at firefighting techniques against flashovers, backdrafts, and other fire phenomena. This outdoor class guarantees real heat on the educational front.
This isn't just an exhibition; it's a classroom without walls, and it's free of charge. However, folks interested in grabbing a seat at this fiery show-and-tell need to register ahead of time. According to the Fort Worth Fire Department, tickets are up for grabs online, with a link ready to whisk potential attendees to the reservation page.
The Citizen's Fire Academy is a part of the FWFD Community Risk Reduction program, designed to enhance public awareness and safety. The first class puts a spotlight on fire behavior, a fundamental component of firefighter training. Demonstrating these fiery reactions in controlled settings not only provides enlightenment but also serves as a stark reminder of fire's destructive power.

Don't miss out on this chance to gain critical insight into the dynamics of fire, as the Fort Worth Fire Department says, "We hope to see you there!!"
