Friday, State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine and Massachusetts Firefighting Academy leadershipย announced the graduation of 15 firefighters, including two from Franklin, from the 50-day Career Recruit Firefighting Training Program. โMassachusetts firefighters are on the frontlines protecting their communities every day, and todayโs graduates are needed now more than ever,โ said State Fire Marshal Davine. โThe hundreds of hours of foundational training theyโve received will provide them with the physical, mental, and technical skills to perform their jobs effectively and safely.โ
โMassachusetts Firefighting Academy instructors draw on decades of experience in the fire service to train new recruits,โ said Massachusetts Firefighting Academy Deputy Director Dennis A. Ball. โThrough consistent classroom instruction and practical exercises, todayโs graduates have developed the tools theyโll need to work seamlessly with veteran firefighters in their home departments and in neighboring communities as mutual aid.โ
