Firefighters from Fire Station 38 were there to show off their truck to students of the school's new firefighter-themed magnet school. At both schools, physical education will focus on the training firefighters need, including CPR and handling firefighting equipment. Each year, Wilson students will take a different required elective related to career development or firefighting, said Maribel Gonzalez, the school’s magnet coordinator. And even if she doesn't go into firefighting, being at a firefighting magnet will set her apart from other college applicants, she said. Quite a few of the students at both schools aren’t sure they want to be firefighters.
