Oak Hill Fire Academy
Oak Hill Fire Department offers a cadet academy annually in order to train those
interested in career firefighting to become State of Texas commissioned
firefighters and first responders. Oak Hill boasts consistently high pass rates
for its academy, the only evening- and weekend-run academy in the Austin area,
which enables its attendees to continue to work while preparing for a new
career.
For information on how to donate to the Oak Hill Fire Foundation, which provides
scholarships to cadets who otherwise wouldn't have the means to attend the
academy, click here.
