I know it seems like forever since I updated this page on my site, but between boring things my husband and I have had to do, and his class time, nothing all that exciting has gone on!
Until yesterday!
Will found out he PASSED his Fire I class! There are three parts to the test, including a confusing section on Hazardous materials. And he ROCKED it!
Now this means two more classes, and he can start applying to the vast majority of paid fire departments in our state. So hopefully another year, and he will be paid.
Starting in September is the 2Q class, meaning by the end he will be able to drive the fire trucks. There is a serious shortage of drivers all hours of the night, and sometimes guys from other companies in our town come to his company just to drive the trucks. I have 100% faith in him and know he will score high there, and be licensed by October/November when the class is over.
Then comes the basic EMT course, which is what we hear to the the hardest. It is also a big chunk of change out of our own pockets to the tune of $500+. I know he will do well on that also. I believe he is looking to start that at the beginning of 2011.
It is a long road, but he is young, experienced, and has been doing amazing all over, especially with his Probie of the year award!
I couldn’t be more proud of him, and I support him 100% in his journey.
Good job babe!
