With recruitment and retention of firefighters at an all-time low nationwide, West Virginia University is working to change that narrative by providing educational opportunities for first responders, including the next generation of firefighters. 

In recognition of these efforts, the WVU Extension Fire Service program recently received the Junior Firefighter Program of the Year Award from the National Volunteer Fire Council. The award, sponsored by California Casualty, honors a junior firefighter program or Explorer Post that has demonstrated significant community impact, innovation and creativity.
