The Elgin-Middlesex Regional Fire School is celebrating the graduation of 46 recruits.

These graduates have successfully completed their NFPA 1001 Firefighter Level I and II training

Representing communities across Elgin and Middlesex Counties, this year’s graduating class includes individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, including policing, paramedicine, corrections, healthcare, and more.

Over the past several months, recruits worked to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to serve in the fire service.
