FREMONT FIRE DEPARTMENT TO DONATE
FIRE ENGINE TO MVROP FIRE SCIENCE PROGRAM

FREMONT, CA-   The school year is starting off on the right foot for Mission Valley ROP and their students.  Excitement is brewing as the school celebrates their 40th year serving high school and adult students with quality, hands-on, career technical education. In yet another example of collaboration with key community partners, Mission Valley ROP has done it again.  The Fremont Fire Department will be generously donating a fire engine to the MVROP Fire Science Program on Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 4pm, at the MVROP Center Campus. 

The Fremont Fire Department was able to donate the engine due to the damage it sustained while responding to a call.  The truth of the matter is, the newly donated engine will not only benefit one Mission Valley ROP program, but two.  Although the damage to the former Fremont Fire Department engine is considerable, this is a perfect opportunity for the MVROP Automotive Painting and Refinishing Program students to return the engine to its former glory.  Once the repairs have been completed, the Fire Science Program will put the engine to good use.

This donation will benefit Mission Valley ROP students for years to come.  It is through valuable community partners, like the Fremont Fire Department, that Mission Valley ROP is able to offer students exemplary educational programs along with the skills they need to achieve success for a lifetime.
