On Friday May 10th two Berne Volunteer Fire Company members graduated Firefighter 1 class given by State Fire.
The NYS Firefighter 1 course prepares entry level firefighters to respond to emergencies. Several members of volunteer fire companies serving the hilltowns of Albany County completed the course in spring of 2013. They were officially recognized at graduation ceremonies honoring their milestone achievement. State fire instructors presented certificates designating the graduates as qualified interior structural firefighters.
The NYS Firefighter 1 Course teaches fire brigade, respiratory, and emergency response to hazardous material standards. Confined space entry, and control of hazardous energy standards are also covered, along with other necessary subjects.
Join us. Learn critical emergency response skills, and know what it means to save lives. Become an Albany County Hilltown Volunteer Firefighter today.
Paula Dunnells and Jerome Wheeler of the Berne Volunteer Fire Company receive their official certificates of completion of Firefighter 1 course.
