Another amazing instructor we have in the spotlight! Most of you know him as handsome Andy if you’ve been in class with us.

Last evening units from Palm Coast Fire Department and Flagler County Fire Rescue responded to a reported structure fire. Upon conducting a primary search, Lieutenant Andy Thomas and FF/PM Kyle Carre located the family pet and were able to remove and care for her. The family’s “loved one” was transported by family friends to a local 24 hour emergency veterinary clinic for further care.
