Tonight, at our nominations meeting, several of our members were awarded their “red” shield. The red shield indicates that this person can act as an officer on any crew in the absence of a line officer. This helps surrounding fire companies know the capabilities of the members on scen. 

They attended a full, 2-day course developed by the officers, leading into practical skills leading teams during live fire training, giving up their Labor Day weekend. 

These members were; Brandon Bolinski, Ryan Hubschmidt, Ryan Kukawski, Anthony Lepone, David Majewski, and Ian Thomas. FF Kukawski and FF/EMT Thomas were unable to attend tonites meeting. FF/EMT Lepone and FF/EMT Majewski were issued their shields earlier while on shift.
