WICHITA FALLS, Texas (TNN) - The Wichita Falls Fire Department is looking for new recruits and is opening its training field for those thinking about making the job a career.
Before they get ready to welcome their 69th academy class, they’re focusing on preparation.
“This time we’re gonna host three different practice sessions out at the drill field where candidates will be able to get hands-on with the station, be able to understand the skills they need to succeed, and understand the sense of urgency,” said Fire Chief Ken Prillaman.
