The Lucas Fire Department considers training as one of the most important activities we do. Rookies must complete 70 hours of basic training before any live fire training is permitted. Members are required to have a class B Texas driver's license, and must be certified competent in emergency apparatus driving by completion of a National Fire Academy created driving course.
Members meet on the second and fourth tuesday.
Other training acitvities are also scheduled for the alternate tuesdays so new members can reach basic certification more quickly. The Lucas Fire Department Training Officer is Lieutennant Suzanne Hewitt .
