We would like to congratulate members J.P. Bennett, Melanie Kempf, and Luis Vivero.

These members spent 188 hours in class and countless hours studying and practicing over the last 12 weeks to complete the Chester County Fire 1 program. This program includes the "Introduction to the Fire Service", "Fire Ground Support", "Exterior Firefighter" and "Interior Firefighter with live Fire" suppression courses, along with Haz-Mat Awareness, Haz- Mat Operations, CPR and 1st aid training.

These members will move on to the NFPA 1001 National written and skills exam next week.

We thank these members for their commitment and dedication to the Union Fire Company and the community we serve.
