Each of the Firefighter 2 candidates burned through the skill sheets during Saturday's testing. Evaluators came from South Whidbey and North Whidbey to make the certification possible. We should officially hear from the State Fire Marshal's office in a few weeks, but everyone is confident that the written exams also went well. Thanks to Jenny Benedict, Jesse Kjolso, Jeremiah Lord, and Noah Waldron for all of their work in achieving Firefighter 2 certification. Thanks also to Michael Griffin for participating in the class.
