GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- The Louis F. Garland Department of Defense Fire Academy hosted 15 service members who previously graduated from the initial fire protection course.  They came from 14 military installations to attend the hazardous materials technician course. 

The students were trained to identify chemicals and to contain potentially hazardous leaks during the two-week course. The hands-on training provided one-on-one instruction, preparing them for future scenarios in containing potentially dangerous chemicals.
