This past Saturday, the Statesboro Fire Department hosted the pinning ceremony for Recruit Class 25-01, marking the culmination of eight weeks of hard work, growth, and dedication. The recruits demonstrated outstanding determination and discipline as they prepared to join the department and serve the Statesboro community.
Throughout the training program, the recruits worked toward earning their Firefighter I certification, as well as Hazmat Operations and Awareness credentials. Guided by an experienced and dedicated training staff, they developed the essential skills every firefighter needs. Training took place in the department’s new state-of-the-art facility, where they also utilized the recently acquired tower truck for hands-on practice. Their accomplishments include mastering forcible entry, tactical ventilation, fire dynamics, suppression techniques, and more.
The department extends sincere gratitude to its training staff for their commitment—many of whom volunteered their own time, even on days off—to ensure the recruits were fully prepared. Appreciation is also extended to the families and friends of the new firefighters for their patience, encouragement, and support throughout this demanding process.
Please join the Statesboro Fire Department in congratulating Recruit Class 25-01—the newest generation of firefighters committed to protecting our community.
