Student Bunk-in Program
The Moyers Corners Fire Department has been running a Student Bunk-in Program for some time now, and it has been a tremendous success. Students who are enrolled in the Fire Protection Technology Curriculum at Onondaga Community College live at the fire stations. In return for living at the fire stations, the students work regular duty shifts to help maintain the fire stations and apparatus, and when an alarm comes in, act as firefighters and respond with the apparatus. This has not only helped to keep the facilities and apparatus well maintained, but has also helped the daytime staffing.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or program:
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (18391894)
“In 1869 he started his work for temperance instigated by three drunken men who came to his home with a paper signed by a saloonkeeper and his patrons on which was written For Gods sake organize a temperance society.”
—Federal Writers Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
