Fire Academy Continues Training Despite Obstacles
CAMARILLO, Calif. — While many school districts inch closer to in-person classes, Oxnard College's Fire Academy took only a few weeks to figure out a hybrid format and get safeguards to bring students back to campus.
During the Woolsey fire, Kaityln Bailey was a college student. She helped evacuate her dorm at Pepperdine University, and she brought her classmates to her family's home in Ojai. Yet becoming a firefighter didn't cross her mind until much later.
Bailey is currently training at Oxnard College's Fire Academy.
