Chief Edward Twigg

My name is Chief Twigg, I am the fire science and public safety teacher for SSS High School. Our school covers North Johnston High School, Princeton High School, South Johnston High School and Smithfield Selma High School. We have several kids that come either in the mornings or afternoons from those schools. In this class, the kids are taught to be certified firefighters. When they graduate, they are employable as firefighters. The Fire Depts here in the County are very supportive of this program. The Departments come out and visit, they also help with training. The public safety classes learn all the parts of public safety such as Fire, Police, Nursing, And all the other parts in public safety. With this class we hope to tap into the kids interest. Give them the chance to possibly figure out thier passion.

Alittle about me:

I am a 37 year veteran of the Fire Service and the EMS service. I have been an instructor since 1996. I live in Four Oaks NC, with my wife Cindy and our four children. I also served in the Army with the 82nd Airborne. I serve in two tours. I am presently a Captain on Four Oaks Fire Dept.
