Students explore careers in emergency services through PHCC program

HENRY COUNTY – It all began with an arsonist starting a fire structure who panics and calls 911.

Responders rushed to the scene, extinguished the fire, rescued and treated victims and identified and arrested the arsonist.

Wednesday, 40 middle school students participating in the Patrick Henry Community College Educational Talent Search program observed a mock emergency scenario at Henry County Public Safety.

Students were introduced to all aspects of an emergency scene to hopefully get students to consider pursuing an emergency services career.
