ORFD welcomes two new firefighters

Congratulations to Amy Rousey and Kenny Spratling.  They graduated from the ten-week fire recruit class at the Tennessee Fire Service and Codes Enforcement Academy in Bell Buckle, TN on November 18, 2011. 

This ten-week program is designed to take the student from pre-service entry level to Firefighter I and covers all aspects of firefighting based on NFPA 1001: Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications, with the exception of emergency medical training.  The students participate in classroom instruction, nighttime response exercises and practical skills training including “live” fire scenarios.  At the end of the last week, eligible students take the Tennessee Commission on Firefighting Personnel and Standard Education certification exam for Firefighter I.

Firefighter Trainee (FFT) Rousey has been assigned to Engine Company 4A and FFT Spratling has been assigned to Engine Company 2B.
