Amarillo College invites the community to experience the intensity and teamwork of real-world firefighting during a special Night Live Burn Training event on Thursday, April 30 at the First Responders Academy. Open to the public, this rare, after-dark training offers a front-row seat to watch fire academy cadets in action as they battle controlled live fires.

Amarillo College is pleased to announce that it will administer physical ability testing for anyone seeking admission to the AC Fire Academy at 9 a.m. Saturday, July 20 in the new state-of-the-art First Responders Academy.

The multi-million-dollar facility is located on Plains Boulevard and is adjacent to the Arts in the Sunset, formerly Sunset Center. Passing the physical ability test, which consists of simulated fire-scene activities, is among the requirements for admission to the Fire Academy.
