Firefighters from Groveland, West Newbury and Merrimac were among 40 graduates of the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy Call/Volunteer Recruit Firefighter Training Class 91.
Groveland firefighters Christen Grugnale, Matthew Guy and Robert Hoffman, West Newbury’s Andrea Ball and Merrimac’s William Howard were awarded certificates of completion on Tuesday, June 29, at the Department of Fire Services Stow campus.
State Fire Marshal Peter J. Ostroskey and Deputy State Fire Marshal Maribel Fournier said 11 of the 40 are women, representing more than a quarter of the graduates and are the largest number in any Recruit Training Class since the Academy was created in 1971.
