Parkland College welcomed a new group of firefighting recruits Tuesday in Melville. Twenty-one students are enrolled in the NFPA 1001 Professional Firefighting program this fall. Until the beginning of November, the students will learn the ins and outs of firefighting at the Melville fire hall and at Parkland College’s expanded Emergency Services Training Site just east of the city. Parkland College offers the only full-time professional firefighting training program in Saskatchewan through a partnership with Lakeland College of Vermilion, AB.
