Students in our Fire Science program have been proudly representing their training and their community spirit this fall. Along with our rescue truck, the students joined both the Little Miami and Lebanon homecoming parades, waving to families and showing off the pride from their program. Their presence not only highlighted the program but also added excitement and school pride to these important community events.

"We love that our kids can participate in these events and help show off our program and our school," said WCCC Fire Science instructor Captain Shannon Deye."We're preparing these young men and women to serve their community, and these events are a big part of the communities that they’ll serve

Two more parades are planned this season, giving our Fire Science students additional opportunities to share their passion for public service with even more of our partner districts. These experiences help students connect with the community while practicing the teamwork, professionalism, and leadership that are central to their training.

WCCC is proud to share that Trevor Banks, a senior in the pre-nursing program, has been selected to speak at the 2025 AMAT Annual Conference. AMAT (Association for Multicultural Affairs in Transplantation) is a leading national organization dedicated to advancing equitable organ donation and transplantation, with a special focus on multicultural outreach, education, and eliminating health disparities. The 2025 conference brings together transplant professionals, administrators, clinicians, and advocates from diverse backgrounds to share best practices, research, and community engagement strategies. Trevor will present on student efforts in organ donation, a cause he champions as president of our Student Organ Donation Advocates chapter. In addition to his leadership on campus, Trevor also represents his peers as a student member of the Ohio Student Safety Council.

For the last few years, Kirby's Community Connect, a branch of Kirby's Auto & Truck Repair has hosted a trunk or treat event to showcase small businesses and support the trades. The event serves as a fundraiser for the Kirby's Blue Collar Scholars scholarship program that helps provide scholarships to local students heading to trade school. Warren County Career Center students have benefitted from these scholarships through the years, and Kirby's awarded two scholarships to WCCC students last spring. This year, Kirby's will host their Trunk or Treat event at WCCC's Main Campus on Thursday, October 23rd, from 6:00-7:30 PM.

WCCC had a fire truck and Fire Science students at the event last year, where they handed out candy and sat with kids in the fire truck. Mark your calendars, and we hope to see you there!
