A new firefighter training program focused on equity is already expanding. The Marin County Fire Department is partnering with the College of Marin to create housing and training for new recruits.
For the past year, firefighter recruits have been working to reduce the risk of wildfire in Marin County, by removing dead trees and brush on hillsides.
"We've got this fire problem across the entire state, we are also trying to bring more women and people of color to the fire service," Marin County Fire Chief Jason Weber said.Daisy Kessler is a new Foundry recruit hoping for a firefighting career. The program offers paid on-the-job training and is now expanding by teaming up with the College of Marin's Novato campus. It will soon offer recruits full-time housing at a building on campus close to where they take EMT and fire science classes. A fire training facility will also be built nearby.
