Week 1 of the Hartsel Fire Protection District Academy is officially complete for these four recruits. Throughout the week, recruits trained hard across multiple disciplines and finished today by successfully completing several vehicle extrication scenarios.

In addition to academy training, recruits also had the opportunity to respond alongside on-duty crews to multiple motor vehicle accidents, gaining valuable real-world experience in emergency response operations.

After a well-earned few days of rest and recovery, the recruits will return next week to finish the final portion of the academy. We’re proud of the dedication, professionalism, and hard work these recruits have shown so far.
