MANASSAS, Va. — As the lights dimmed in the Old Town Pub, the room quieted. Over 50 sets of eyes watched the fast moving images. Teens and parents alike laughed at the antics of the trainees during the movie. Normally, trainees for the police and fire department are a little older, but over the last few weeks Manassas teens got a taste of what it’s like to work as emergency responders.

“I can’t tell you how proud I am,” said Fireman Kevin Shaffer. “These kids worked so hard. It was great to see kids from all walks of life getting to know each other and learning to work as a team.”
