PRINCE GEORGE, Va. — Class Number 4 of the Fire Recruit School in Prince George County graduated with a historic achievement on Friday.
Every recruit in the class passed and achieved 100 percent on their first written and practical skill exams. It is the first time in Crater Regional Fire Academy history that an entire class received a 100 percent first-time pass rate across every major certification and skill requirement.
The future firefighters graduated tonight at Prince George High School to celebrate their hard work.
"The process is not easy for sure. It's a lot of long nights, uh, doing a lot of things you don't really wanna do, but if you wanna be a firefighter and you want to serve the community, things that you have to do. And so, but I mean, all these guys did a really great job," said probationary firefighter Hadden Blair.
As a bonus for passing with flying colors, the entire class received a pizza party.
