Many months ago Delaware State Fire School Director Robert Newnam was approached by Matt Goins of Georgetown concerning ideas that Goins had for an Eagle Scout Project that would benefit the Delaware State Fire School.

Discussion led to Mr. Goins' decision to build an outdoor classroom at the Sussex division of the fire school. He began planning of the project, contacting potential contributors and designing the building.

The project was completed for the 2012 spring season and is in use by the school for outside classes such as school field trips, firefighter survival and rehab for structural classes.

On April 21 Matt was awarded his Eagle Scout rank at a ceremony at Wesley United Methodist Church in Georgetown.

The building is dedicated in the memory of Matt’s grandfather, William (John) Coulbourne, a longtime member of the Milton Fire Department.
