Summary

When Anderson’s summer heat brings wildfire danger, firefighters often camp in tents—until students at Anderson Secondary School stepped in. Over the course of a school year, they built cozy cabins to give first responders a much-needed break. Inspired by the firefighters’ constant presence and the town’s housing struggles, the teens tackled everything from power tools to project planning—and even secured funding through a city auction. For some, like Hannah Coller, whose dad is a firefighter, it was deeply personal. The cabins aren’t just shelters—they’re a lasting gift, ready to serve the community long after graduation.
