Pass the Torch program set

Friday, July 25, 2014 by Michael Kanin

The 33 individuals participating in the Austin Fire Department’s Pass the Torch program will be graduating Saturday. AFD officials say the Pass the Torch program is designed to give individuals age18 to 24 a glimpse into the life of a firefighter, and a firsthand feel for life in the fire service to decide if the career is right for them. The ceremony is set for noon Saturday at the Austin Fire Department Training Academy, 4800-B Shaw Lane.
