This week, three more Providence Fire Department Cadets started the 13-week Municipal Fire Academy. Through our partnership with Providence Public Schools, they began training while still in high school, earning certifications in firefighting, hazardous materials and as EMTs. Three graduates of the program are already Providence firefighters, and these three are next up. After the academy, they’ll join PFD as trainees for additional training before being sworn in.

And despite what the picture suggests, we promise they’re excited to be there.
