Twenty firefighters have successfully completed the Firefighter I class at the New Hackensack Training Facility. The graduates dedicated many nights and weekends to their training, spending time away from their families to reach this important milestone. The Dutchess County Volunteer Firefighters Association celebrated the achievements of the graduates by providing refreshments, which included pizza and soft drinks. Each new firefighter received a Nomex hood, a commemorative patch, and a certificate from the association in recognition of their accomplishment. The dedication and guidance of the instructors played a significant role in supporting these new firefighters throughout their training.
