Two new fire fighters are recently graduates of Fire Fighter's boot camp. This is a two week course which offers intensive training in the basics of fire fighting.

This course has become a great success not only in the county but it has also drawn attention from counties around the state who are using it as a template to start a course of their own.

The names of our graduates are Rafeal Galindo and Sylvia Kovach. Chief DeLanoy back right, Past Chief and current President of the Board of Directors Robert Locker in the center and Assistant Chief Mark DeMaria is on the left.
