Butler Tech Fire Technology Engine 343

This past Friday was the Fire Program's Career Fair. What a great showing with plenty of support from area Fire departments. Lots of connections were made between department representatives and students.
In addition, we took advantage of the event and dedicated a plaque in memory of Mr. Ed. Emley who was the Fire Program's first Instructor. (2003 - 2013) Mr. Emley educated and mentored numerous young adults through the program. Many of them now serving the communities many of us live in. Huge Thank You to all of the departments who came out for the event.

Its Skills USA competition season. This year, junior students Avery Jenkins and Laine Coomer traveled to Columbus, Ohio to compete in the State SkillsUSA competition.
The group of volunteers that host the event have done a fantastic job of improving the competition over the past few years. Special thanks to these volunteers that make this event possible.
We will know by noon tomorrow if one of these model students will go on to represent the State of Ohio at the National Competition in June. Whether they do or not, they are already champions in my book. They showed up and put up 100% effort today!!!! Congratulations to you both!!!

Congratulations to the following 2026 Senior-Only Fire students who have completed the state FF I and II certification course and passed the state of Ohio certification test.
