Leadership isn't just about wearing a badge—it's about continuously learning, growing, and setting the example for those around you.

A huge congratulations to the 15 members of the Laredo Fire Department who successfully completed the Firefighter Leadership Certificate Cohort at Laredo College! From June 3 through August 3, these dedicated firefighters earned a Level I Leadership Certificate by completing 16 college credit hours, taking another step toward becoming even stronger leaders both on and off the fireground.🧯

This accomplishment reflects the commitment our personnel have to serving our community with professionalism, knowledge, and integrity.

A special thank you to the incredible Laredo College faculty who invested in our team and made this program possible:

🔥 Dr. Marissa Guerrero
🔥 Dr. Antonio G. Carranza III
🔥 Dr. Horacio Salinas
🔥 Ms. Patricia Perez
