Class 36 – Week 3

All of the recruits have successfully passed their Hazmat Operations certification!

Now, it’s time to focus on fire 🔥

This week, we covered the first four chapters of the fire curriculum, focusing on PPE and radio communications. The recruits quickly learned just how critical effective communication can be on the fireground.

One of the week’s drills challenged them to assemble a LEGO kit while separated into different rooms, relying solely on radio communication. It was a fun but valuable exercise that reinforced the importance of clear, concise transmissions.

To finish out the week, the recruits got some OJT and their first real taste of what life will be like after graduation.

Class 36 - Week2

Hazmat Operations week!

Take aways from this week are as follows:

- it’s all about the “D’s” dam, d**e, divert, decon
- I should have paid attention to chemistry in high school
- the only thing worse than PT is being fully encapsulated in level A suit during the summer in Louisiana

This class is moving fast! It might have been a short week, but we covered a lot of material!

Class 36 – Week 1

Today, the newest recruits of the Bossier City Fire Department completed their first week of rookie school. These recruits hit the ground running… literally! In Bossier, we hold a high standard and expect nothing but the best from our firefighters.

This class started on Monday, and we are proud to say that every recruit successfully passed their Hazmat Awareness certification on the first attempt.

This week has been about more than just certifications and physical training. We have emphasized the importance of discipline, accountability, and teamwork. These recruits are quickly learning that success in the fire service is not achieved individually, but through working together with a common purpose. Without discipline and teamwork, failure is inevitable.

A strong start for Class 36, and we’re excited to watch them continue to grow throughout their training.
