Firefighter Ben Davis at National Fire Academy

C shift Firefighter/Paramedic Ben Davis recently arrived at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland for training. After an arduous flight, coupled with the incredible recent snowstorms on the east coast, just getting there was an adventure.

The National Fire Aacademy hosts year-round classes for both career and volunteer firefighters. All costs, including transportation, lodging, meals and tuition are covered by the United States Fire Administration.

Ben is there attending a weeklong leadership class, specifically targeted for administrators for volunteer fire departments. Ben is a Chief Officer with the Vernonia Rural Fire District.

We are proud of the individual achievements of our C-shift members.
