SERGEANT BLUFF, Iowa (KCAU) — The Sergeant Bluff School District and Fire Department have helped each other for nearly two decades by training the next generation of firefighters.

For over 16 years, Sergeant Bluff-Luton students have helped their community by becoming volunteer firefighters.

In 2009, the Sergeant Bluff-Luton School District and Fire Department created the program.

"It started out with just two students that year, and tried to fill that out. And then between then and now, we've had over 40 students from the high school here in town," said Fire Chief Anthony Gaul, with the Sergeant Bluff Fire Department.
