University City Fire Chief Manuel Casarez's passion for fire science began in an unlikely place, a gas station.
In our newest episode of A Seat at the Table, Chancellor Dr. Mike Flores explores the vital work of the First Responders Academy at San Antonio College – a program that trains more than 500 graduates annually for careers in law enforcement, fire science, correctional science, and emergency medical services. He is joined by Chief Manual Casarez of the Boerne Fire Department, Chief of the Balcones Height Police Department, John Jahanara, and First Responders Academy cadet Zaida Huerta.
If you feel called to serve the public, then it's time to take advantage of the Alamo Colleges' variety of fully online programs, such as Fire Science and Case Management, that will start your career in public service!
The new building, part of the Alamo Colleges District’s Capital Improvement campaign, will train students in law enforcement, firefighting, and emergency management/homeland security programs.
