Probationary Firefighters celebrate a milestone today as they achieve the rank of Firefighter with the department.
The culmination of a one-year hiring process, Probationary Firefighters have successfully completed an initial 16-week Recruit Academy and subsequent hands-on and competency based testing in fire suppression, emergency medical services, search and rescue and hazardous materials operations.
On behalf of the citizens we serve, and the Tacoma Fire Department, congratulations!
