The Members of the Dobbs Ferry Fire Department would like to congratulate Firefighters Marty O’Leary, Andrew Radomski, and Kola Rukaj on successfully completing the New York State Firefighter 1 curriculum.
Over the past several months, these members balanced responding to calls, attending in house trainings, keeping up with school, and working all while dedicating themselves to completing this demanding program.
NYS Firefighter 1 is a 129 hour course that combines classroom academics with hands on practical skills designed to prepare firefighters for the challenges they may face. Their commitment, hard work, and determination throughout the process are a reflection of the dedication it takes to serve our community.
We would also like to extend a sincere thank you to all of the instructors and staff who dedicated their time, knowledge, and experience to training the next generation of firefighters. The countless hours spent teaching, mentoring, and preparing these members for the fire service do not go unnoticed, and we greatly appreciate everything you do for the fire service and our communities.
Congratulations, Marty, Andrew, and Kola . Keep training, stay motivated, and stay safe.
