Congratulations to Thompson High School interns Jocelyn Roby and Ethan Crook as they prepare to complete their internship with the Alabaster Fire Department at the end of the school year.

During their time with us, Jocelyn and Ethan stepped into the world of fire and emergency services with curiosity, maturity, and a strong desire to learn. They gained firsthand exposure to public safety, spent time around our crews, and saw what it takes to serve others through teamwork, discipline, and commitment.

We also want to congratulate Jocelyn and Ethan on their upcoming graduation and on completing EMT Basic. That is a tremendous accomplishment and a strong reflection of their dedication, work ethic, and interest in serving their community.

Both represented Thompson High School, their families, and themselves exceptionally well. We are proud of the effort they put into this opportunity and grateful they chose to spend this time with our department.

Congratulations, Jocelyn and Ethan. We wish you both continued success and are excited to see where your paths lead next.
