Pike Central High School

On Thursday, April 27th, students from Mr. Adam Vaal's fire class attended the Fire Department Instructors Conference at Indianapolis. They were there early enough for the opening ceremony and was able to see the Pipes and Drums honor guard perform. During the time there, students explored the exhibits at the convention center and Lucas Oil Stadium. They also met members of different fire departments that Mr. Vaal has worked with in the past.  Before returning to Pike Central, they stopped at Indianapolis Fire Station 14 where a former Vincennes University Fire Science student of Mr. Vaal's, Avery Lewis, was working his shift.  Avery gave them a personal tour of 14's firehouse and introduced us to some of the firefighters working with him. It was a great experience for everyone.
