Labette Community College and Parsons High School welding students recently reconstructed a shipping container from overseas that the Parsons Fire Department will use for training. “I’d say it was a big learning experience for most of these guys, us, I guess,” said Reece Thurman, a sophomore at LCC. “Doing overhead welds and everything like that. Didn’t have any practice with any of that.” Students finished updating the container with windows, doors and sectioning it off into smaller rooms with walls in early December. It took them about two months to complete the project. This was the first big project for many of the students. Students said they enjoyed creating the layout for the container.
