RECRUITS COMPLETE ONE-YEAR TRAINING AND PROBATION
Sixteen firefighter/paramedic recruits will officially join the ranks of Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue when they receive their badges in front of family, friends and fellow firefighters Tuesday morning.
“These are the best and the brightest firefighter candidates, and they join the ranks of one of the finest fire rescue departments in the country,” Sheriff Scott Israel said. The recruits of Class 16-01 will be presented with their badges in the traditional badge-pinning ceremony at the I.T. Parker Community Center in Dania Beach. They will also receive their black helmets, signifying the successful completion of the one-year probationary period, which began in April, 2016. In addition to their state-certified firefighter and paramedic course curriculum, the recruits have completed a rigorous 320-hour orientation class by Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue’s Training Division, undergone proficiency testing at five and 10 months in both academic and practical evaluations in fire and EMS skills, and worked extensively in the field under the supervision of line officers from the department.
The new firefighter appointees are Rashane Bennett, Michael Binger, Nelson Bravo, Nickolas Cantalupo, Adrian Diaz, William Gates, Ryan Layun, Joshua Madan, Krystopher Malarski, Fabian Mitidieri Navarro, Paul Monteagudo, Nelson Morillo Rodriguez, Michael Pollock, Klauss Richard, Kenny Sanchez and Erich Smith.
The next group of recruits, Class 17-01, has 20 probationary firefighter/paramedics, and will finish their 320-hour orientation training May 12, when they will receive their assignments. They will complete their probationary period May, 2018.
