The Oakmont Fire Company would like to congratulate Steve Poole on his promotion to Chief of Brookline Volunteer Fire Company – Station 35. Steve is the son of past Oakmont Assistant Chief Wally Poole. Congratulations Steve we know Wally is looking down proud.
Since last December, nine of our members have successfully completed FF1. The effort they have put into it is incredible along with all the training inside the station.
A special shout-out goes to Assistant Howard for handling all the scheduling, as well as LJ Howard and Michael Straub for leading the Oakmont book training. This achievement would not have been possible without the support and teamwork of everyone involved.
Thank you to all who contributed, and congratulations to our nine members on a terrific job well done.
