Congratulations to this fantastic group of young men and women who graduated from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy today. For the past 3 years, they earned their Fire Fighter 1 and 2 certification, along with other certifications, all while attending college and maintaining a high GPA in order to be a part of the Firefighter program with Onset FD. Some will be staying on with us as Call Firefighters, while others will be moving on to careers in the fire service at other departments and other 1st Responder agencies. THANK YOU all for your time and sacrifice to OFD and our community. It has been a pleasure working with you! Best of luck to all of you!!!

Today is about them, the ones who gave all and no longer have a voice. Today isn’t a “happy” greeting day. It’s about remembering and honoring the men and women who sacrificed their lives so we can live ours. As you enjoy your cookout, family time or just sit in traffic, don’t lose sight on today’s true meaning.
