After intensive training, the new firefighters are ready for the field and are committed and eager to embark on a new career of helping others.

“Our department has faith in you and know you will succeed,” Battalion Chief Max Dosher said. “All journeys start with a single step up the UOP stairs.  By committing to that first step, you have proven you will do everything you can to enhance the quality of life, make a positive difference, provide excellent customer service, and safeguard our community”
