WAUSAU – Northcentral Technical College (NTC) was one of four recent recipients of a $25,000 Youth Firefighter Training grant from the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS).

College representatives said the grant will help fund NTC’s Youth Firefighter Academy, a new program that will train high school students to be firefighter level 1 volunteers/employees and prepare them for the Emergency Medical Responder certification exam. 

Next year, NTC will train up to six high school students to be firefighter level 1 volunteers or employees.
