According to the article, the academy was designed to give the teens a safe environment for them to get a first look at emergency services careers — such as firefighting, paramedical and law enforcement. The academy was something the departments had wanted to put on for a few years, Gerencer said, but were unable to do it until this year. In the academy teens had a chance to try emergency services tasks like high-angle rescue drills, which include repelling as well as using the "jaws of life" to tear the roof off a car and extricate the simulated victim of a car accident. Although this years academy, the first, was kept small on purpose, Gerencer and Smith hope to expand to 15 students next year and add activities like simulate weapons scenarios.
