Fayetteville Fire Department has 23 new firefighters. The class of recruits graduated Wednesday night from Fayetteville Tech Community College Fire Training Academy. All the new firefighters have accepted positions in the Fayetteville Fire Department. Four of the new recruits are with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Liberty. They are transitioning out of the U.S. Army into the civilian life. “It really feels nice to kind of give back to the community. Civilians and people within the community look up to us so much and it’s a feeling that you can’t recreate. It’s an amazing feeling,” Specialist Brennan Hemphill said.
