Welcome to Week #1 of Fire Academy for Unified Fire Authority's Recruit Class #54. This has been an intense and exciting first week for these 36 recruits. They've been pushed both mentally and physically, they were introduced to our Department’s culture/history, and they were taught firefighting basics. This week was more or less a hands-on introduction for what's to come. Stay tuned as Public Information Officer Ryan Love documents their every move, bringing you video updates for the next 16 weeks.
All recruits and cadre have conducted a rapid COVID test - all negative. We will maintain a COVID-aware campus through frequent testing, daily screening, and vaccination efforts.#UNIFIED54

@@chiefgaming8182 they are volunteer firefighters, becoming a paid firefighter is next to impossible. Over 2000 people apply for the job so you have to be the top 1% and top scores, but you might get crossed out because you had a ticket, or a firefighter with 30+ years experience comes and gets the job. Then they become volunteers. My brother Alex applied to over 20 departments and decided to look into a new field in automotive it was very harsh considering he spent years trying to become a firefighter
