Contractors, industry leader team up for area EMTs

Donated materials, roofing work strengthen first responder training space

Roofing giant GAF partnered with local contractors to help shore up a recently expanded training space for Bastrop County’s first responders.

New roofs were installed this month at the Texas Public Safety Training Academy (TPSTA) in Bastrop, improving classroom space for local EMTs and firefighters. The academy, an emergency services training organization serving Bastrop, Caldwell, Fayette and Lee counties, added 10 acres and two doublewide trailers for training that desperately needed improvements, according to project organizers.
