Alabama NewsCenter — Marion Military Institute Dedicates New First Responder Building

By Alabama NewsCenter Staff

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.
