Marion Military Institute (MMI) recently dedicated its new First Responder Building and thanked community and state partners in its latest workforce development endeavor. The building, a former Alabama Power office, is now a training and instructional base for MMI cadets in the firefighting, EMT and law-enforcement career tracks.
MMI’s first responder program began in 2016 with one cadet, Chris Simmons, who became a certified EMT through a partnership with the Alabama Fire College (AFC), commuting three days a week for classes in Tuscaloosa. The MMI program has transitioned to mostly online instruction and on-campus training with the continuing support and resources of the AFC.
