MANSFIELD, Ohio Congratulations to Lieutenant Shawn Yerian for completing the Executive Fire Officer Program (four-year program).
As a student in the Executive Fire Officer (EFO) Program, he pursued a professional development path that spans four years, taking one course per year. Each class is two weeks and is held at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, MD. After each period, you must complete an Applied Research Project (ARP) related to your organization within six months. Participating in the EFO Program provided an opportunity to view issues in the fire service far beyond Ohio. No other fire education institution can offer such a unique curriculum that brings fire service leaders together to learn, discuss, problem-solve, and ultimately, make a difference in their community.
County supports affordable senior complex
BERNALILLO After about 20 years, Rio Rancho may welcome another affordable senior living complex, said Sandoval County Financial Advisor Rob Burpo.
Burpo presented to Sandoval County Commissioners about the development Thursday night at the county Administration Building.
The developers of the senior living center are the same developers of the multi-family affordable housing complex, 550 Paseo Apartments, which is slated to begin construction later this year, Burpo said.
DBG Properties LLC plans to build two residential buildings next to the 550 Paseo Apartments near the intersections of US 550 and Paseo del Volcan. Burpo said the last senior affordable housing complex built in Rio Rancho was the Buena Vista Active Adult Community behind Smith’s Food and Drug Store, and is at capacity.
