The Hurst Fire Department conducts the Hurst Citizens Fire Academy. The ten-week class gives our Citizens the opportunity to see firsthand what duties and responsibilities Firefighters have. You will learn about the organization and operation of the Hurst Fire Department, Fire Prevention, Disaster Preparedness, Emergency Medical Service, Arson Investigation, Firefighting tactics, and much more. Firefighters and Officers from the Hurst Fire Department who possess various skills, experience, and training will provide the instruction. Citizens will have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss issues, and learn many of the responsibilities Firefighters have as a daily part of their job.

The 2024 Citizens Fire Academy will begin on Monday, April 1, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. at Fire Station #1, 2100 Precinct Line Road. A light supper is served at the beginning of each class. Space is limited.

After a two-year break due to COVID, we are excited to offer this program again. The Hurst Fire Department Firefighters conduct the Hurst Citizens Fire Academy classes. 

We will not meet on Memorial Day, May 27; our last class will be Monday, June 10, and Graduation Dinner will be Monday, June 17. Each class will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a light dinner, and we will try diligently to be out the door by 9 p.m. Please wear comfortable closed-toe shoes for the activities and dress casually. Jeans and slacks are perfect – something you can move around quickly. We will give you a polo on the first evening and would like you to wear it each week afterward.
