Carteret Community College now has home base for Crystal Coast Fire Academy
MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. (WNCT) — Carteret Community College's new Crystal Coast Fire Academy has found its home for future trainees. County leaders, members of the Carteret Chamber and more all gathered at Beaufort Fire Station 2 Thursday, May 29, 2025, for the ribbon cutting on the new Crystal Coast Fire Academy. Carteret Community College has had a fire academy since 2008, but has had to utilize different fire departments to host classes for it consistently all over the county. Now, they have a centralized location to have those classes. 'We're delighted to have a space in this part of the county because not only will we be able to have a home for the fire academy, but we'll also be able to offer courses for people in this part of Carteret County who might not be able to get to Morehead City either because they don't have transportation or the time to go that far for classes,' Carteret Community College President Tracy Mancini said. 'So, it's going to be a win-win.' The official building at Beaufort Fire Station 2 gives all trainees a home base to consistently train at. 'It gives us a base to come to every night to start your academy while they're in the four months of academy,' Beaufort Fire Department Chief Tony Ray said. 'The emergency training facility is a mile-and-a-half right down the road. So, the classroom can begin here or practical work, they can go right down there.' The academy provides many people in the area with an opportunity to serve their local communities and become a member of one of Carteret County's many stations. 'It's an opportunity to partner with the college. It's an opportunity to provide for the community,' Ray said. 'As I said earlier, this is workforce development which leads to career development, which leads to community and neighborhood development. As people leave here and go back here, their career may not be in Carteret County. We have people come from all over the state to attend across the Crystal Coast Fire Academy.'

Fire crews conduct emergency training at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport
Firefighters at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport took part in specialized training on Monday, designed to prepare crews for emergencies that most departments never face. The Minneapolis Airport Fire Department ran through Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) drills on a mobile training unit. The training is required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and is unique to airports that manage incoming and outgoing aircraft. "Today, we're out here to do our annual ARF training," Mark Watczak with the Minneapolis Airport Fire Department said. "This is pretty unique for us at the airport, where we have this specialty training, and it's aircraft Rescue [and] firefighting." The exercises started with smaller "pan fires" and gradually moved into full-scale drills inside a mock aircraft. Firefighters used powerful bumper and roof turrets mounted on their trucks to simulate an initial attack on aircraft fires. "We start out with a lot of hand line training, and eventually we work ourselves into the trucks," Watczack said. "This allows them to get that water on the fire early on." This year, multiple incidents across the country — including runway collisions and emergency landings — have underscored the importance of this kind of preparation. Watczak says the crews at MSP are ready. "MSP firefighters are highly trained," he said. "As the 18th busiest airport, they're exceptionally trained and well-versed in any sort of scenario, whether it's a structural fire or an aircraft incident." In total, 16 firefighters participated in this week's drill. Watczak says the department continues to run additional training sessions throughout the year to stay sharp and meet all federal requirements. "We're just here as a measure to ensure that we fortify that safety," he said.
