Over the past few months, two of our most dedicated volunteers attended the Montgomery County Fire Academy, spending well over 150 hours both in the classroom and on the drill, grounds becoming nationally certified firefighters. While they attended the fire academy at night and on the weekends, they also balanced being high school students and continued to be active within the company. Michael and LJ are both third-generation firefighters and are proud to continue to uphold their family tradition of service to the community.
