Maplewood residents use fire hoses in the Maplewood Citizens Academy.

The group of Maplewood residents learning about the workings of the city, last night had an introduction from Chief Terry Merrell, and a tour of the firehouse by Merrell and the five firefighters on duty.

The group saw the sleeping quarters, including the separate, small room where any loud-snoring firefighter sleeps. They heard a test alarm from East Central Dispatch, donned gear, and took turns holding charged fire hoses.
