Firefighters in the North Curry area just completed the classroom portion of a 15 week long certified "Firefighter 1" course! These volunteers have put in countless hours and incredible effort into completing this course and they all passed with flying colors. Sixes Fire hosted the class and had nine firefighters finish. We were very excited to have our neighbors, Port Orford and Langlois Fire participate and they each had two firefighters complete the class as well. Great work everyone!
