Congrats to firefighter Brent Craven who has completed his NFPA 1001/2 certification. He now receives his black helmet and black PPE. Brent's passion and dedication is outstanding and he is a great role model for others to follow. He has been a significant positive addition to our team and we look forward to working with Brent for many years. Well done Brent, we are so proud of you!
