One of the main goals of the Riverchase Career Connections Center, or RC3, is to give high schools students real world, hands-on experiences in several professions, including that of the Fire Service.

One of his teachers playfully gave Nick the Golden Fire Extinguisher Award in honor of his efforts. It’s a trophy that has encouraged Nick to keep striving towards his goals. Check out his story! #hooverfiredepartment #hoovercityschools

Hoover was officially incorporated as city on May 18, 1967, with only 406 residents. 50 years later, the city has nearly 90,000 residents.
With a diverse population, Hoover is now the sixth largest city in the state of Alabama. Growth of Hoover can be attributed to many factors of which include: completion of Interstate 65 and Interstate 459 which created a major interchange, the development of the Riverchase community, the opening of the Riverchase Galleria and the financial benefits that allowed the creation of many city services and boards.
