The Green Bay Metro Fire Department welcomed ten new firefighters on Friday.
The recruits officially graduated from an eight-week course by completing a series of demonstrations at the NWTC Public Safety Building.
“In the last eight weeks we have spent time covering our administrative policies and procedures, EMS responses, fire training – and fire training is broken down into three different subgroups- engine company operations, truck company operations, and one is special operations,” said Training Captain Jordan Waack. “This recruit academy consisted of ten people. We had some individuals who had 5-6 years of career fire experience from departments across Wisconsin, all the way to somebody who had just graduated last semester from the fire training program here at NWTC.”
The special operations include things like marine rescue tactics and techniques, among other things.
