🚒 Welcome to the Next Generation of the Ozark Fire Protection District

A huge congratulation to the newest members of the fire service!

Graduating from the SW Missouri Regional Fire Academy and Ozarks Technical Community College, these individuals have successfully completed rigorous training programs and earned the certifications necessary to begin a career dedicated to serving others.

Behind every firefighter is a unique story—a journey that led them to answer the call of public service. We are honored that these individuals have chosen to begin that journey with the Ozark Fire Protection District.

Starting Monday, they will begin the onboarding process and take the next steps toward becoming part of our team. While their academy training has prepared them for the profession, their growth as firefighters is only beginning. Over the coming months, they will continue learning, training, and developing alongside the dedicated men and women who serve our community every day.

Please join us in congratulating these new firefighters on the hard work, determination, and commitment it took to reach this milestone. We are excited to welcome them to the OFPD team and look forward to seeing them out in the community, serving alongside our outstanding members.

The future of the fire service is bright, and we are proud to have them wearing the Ozark Fire Protection District patch.
