Young Firefighters

 Last night was the graduation ceremony for the YVTech Firefighter Cadet class. It is one of the programs offered by the Yakima Valley school District.


This is the 3rd year that James has been in this program and he has learned so much. He is has hopes of being hired on with a fire department as either a fire fighter or EMT. The students in the class were awarded their certificates stating that they have completed 1 year of firefighting training.


A firefighter has to be able to put on his (or her) bunker gear/turnout gear in one minute or less. The students all did a great job with the slowest time of 52 seconds. Way to go!


























Alex adores James and want to be a "super hero firefighter" just like James
