Meetings/Trainings
Weekly meetings are held at the El Paso Fire Training Academy at 6800 Delta inside of Ascarate Park from 8-11 am. If you need directions please "CONTACT US" and we will provide them. When entering the park you will need to let the guard shack attendant know that you are there for the fire department to avoid having to pay the entry fee. It is STRONGLY suggested that you eat a small meal prior to coming out, and make sure to bring water with you. Please check our calender before coming to the Fire Academy. Make sure we have a meeting on that date. Click HERE for the calendar.
