FRACKVILLE, Pa. At the Schuylkill County Fire Academy near Frackville, fire trainees are back in class getting instruction on what they need to know to fight fires on a Zoom call.
The academy was shut down this time last year when the pandemic hit.
Those running the academy say by switching the classroom instruction to remote learning, they are now able to get back to the training that was halted last March. Without doing this by Zoom, this program would not happen,” said Girardville Fire Chief Frank Zangari, who is the Schuylkill County Fire Academy chairman. They ll be able to do the classroom work in their own fire stations or some of them in their own homes; they don t even have leave home.”
