Class 19 has officially concluded. This year, 35 recruits accepted the challenge and not only completed all tasks but excelled in them. Students gained knowledge in various areas including Fire 1 and 2.
The curriculum consisted of six days of training:
Day 1 covered respect for the service, brotherhood, history, alarms, communications, hoses, and water supply.
Day 2 focused on Fire Dynamics, water supply practicals, flowing water, hose loads, and Aerial Climb.
Day 3 included CPR, search and rescue classroom training, Hazmat, and ladder operations.
Day 4 comprised Auto Extrication, brush fires, extinguisher usage, forcible entry, salvage and overhaul, and equipment familiarization.
Day 5 involved search and rescue practicals, ladder practicals, VEIS, entanglement prop, forcible entry practicals, spaghetti drill, Building Construction, and Mental Health in the service.
Day 6 culminated in Live Burns.
These recruits demonstrated dedication and perseverance, overcoming obstacles and eliminating the phrase 'I can't' from their vocabulary. They battled adverse weather conditions and, most notably, never gave up. We proudly welcome each recruit into the brotherhood.
Congratulations to all; we look forward to seeing your future endeavors.
