A fire district that covers Apache Junction and Gold Canyon may sponsor the East Valley Institute of Technology’s firefighter program in Mesa so it can be certified to a national standard.
The Superstition Fire and Medical District board of directors on Jan. 18 will discuss and possibly vote on providing a sponsorship letter for EVIT. The meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. in the administrative office building at 565 N. Idaho Road in Apache Junction. The meeting can also be listened to by calling 480-646-1864 and using the access pin 1234.
EVIT offers 40 career training programs for public, charter, private and homeschooled high school students who reside in the following East Valley school districts: Apache Junction, Mesa, Queen Creek, Cave Creek, Chandler, Fountain Hills, Gilbert, Higley, J.O. Combs, Scottsdale and Tempe. Students attend their high school for a half-day and EVIT for a half-day. East Valley school districts provide free transportation for their students to attend EVIT.
