“Over the course of the academy we’ve just noticed the camaraderie amongst all of us and that just kind of drives us to work harder keep going keep pushing,” Tiroccchi said.
“They really shined once they got here, they started working hard,” Alan Zygmunt, with the Connecticut Fire Academy said.
The recruits’ first four weeks of the program were all through Zoom because of the pandemic and the remainder of their 700 hour program was spent on site full time practicing physical training, fire suppression, vehicle extrication, rope, elevator, confined space and firefighter rescue.
“We have them respond just as if they would on a regular work shift and they never know what the call is going to be until they get dispatched to it,” Zygmunt said.
