Firefighters G. McGiveron and J. Welz Complete Basic Training



Congratulations to Union Firefighters Jacob Welz and Gretchen McGiveron. They both successfully completed over 160 hours of NYS BEFO, HazMat, & IFO training today. This included multiple written exams and hands on skills testing. All while they trained many additional hours to our internal standard operating guidelines, equipment, and required skills. This is only the beginning of what you make it. Stay knowledge hungry and continue to train hard. Keep up the great work and we are looking forward to your continued success and growth!
