Firefighter Academy
The Washington County Division of Emergency Services (DES) welcomes 31 cadets to the first Recruit Class for the inaugural Firefighter Academy. DES will works closely with cadets, providing an opportunity for staff to identify strengths and for cadets to build team unity. Once cadets complete the academy, they will join the many volunteers to help augment these dedicated groups in their service to our communities. Together, these groups will continue to serve by ensuring the safety of our citizens and visitors throughout the County.
