The journey of Amanda Thomas from Deputy Fire Chief of a volunteer department to running a college

Amanda's journey to Deputy Fire Chief was no easy task with a young family and very controlling husband. She fought the daily battle to service her community and fire department without the support of her husband. During that time there was that little voice in her head encouraging her to continue to serve and not give into his wishes. Listening to that voice turned out to be a blessing and that lead her to the career she has now. She found the strength to get divorced and start a full-time career managing an EMT program in Utah.  Several of her student have placed 1st in national completions which have earned them scholarship money. Her students have gone on to save many lives and become very successful in there careers as EMT/Firefighters. Many of them have used what they have learned in their EMT class to go much further in the medical field. Listen to how she is able to create such a great program and amazing students. Her goal is to continue run a high quality program that teaches life saving skills to her students.
