Teen Fire & Rescue Academy

Teen Fire Academy 2027

Our Teen Fire Academy 2026 was a tremendous success! Participants spent an exciting week learning what it takes to serve as a firefighter and first responder while gaining hands-on experience alongside members of the best fire department: Farmers Branch Fire.

During the academy, teens explored firefighting equipment, learned basic emergency response techniques, toured fire apparatus, participated in physical fitness challenges, practiced search-and-rescue skills, and witnessed live demonstrations by our dedicated firefighters. The program provided a unique behind-the-scenes look at the daily responsibilities, teamwork and commitment required to protect our community.

We are incredibly proud of all the participants for their enthusiasm, hard work and willingness to learn. Thank you to the Farmers Branch Fire Department and Farmers Branch Parks and Recreation for creating an unforgettable experience for our future leaders.
