Bryant council swears in new firefighters, discusses burning

Four new firefighters took their oath to become members of the Bryant department and received their shields during the Bryant City Council regular meeting Tuesday. "We are proud of them," said Fire Chief J.P. Jordan. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the firefighter training school stopped holding classes, but because Bryant has its own training facility they were able to complete their training. Jordan said this allowed the department to train them how it wanted to. The new firefighters are Jacob Dever, Andrew Etherington, Jordan Brown and Chandler Pruitt. J.P. Jordan also gave a letter of commendation to Training Captain Ryan McCormick in recognition of all the work he did to make this training happen. "It took a lot of logistics. It took a lot of planning," J.P. Jordan said.
