Valley Ford would like to congratulate Armando Bautista on his graduation from the 104th SRJC Fire Academy.

Armando started his journey with Valley Ford back during Covid. While not being able to fully participate in hands on trainings, he would still come out and take in what he could. Armando still continues putting his time in as a volunteer with Gold Ridge providing station coverage at Hessel, Twin Hills and Wilmar. Aside from graduating the fire academy, just this past spring Armando successfully passed the EMT program at the SRJC.

Engineer Cornwell and Firefighter Cherne were in attendance to show support for their former Valley Ford brother.

Congratulations Armando. All of us at Valley Ford are proud of your hard work and accomplishments. There will always be a seat for you at Station 86.
